colophon

how the sausage is typeset.

this site is written by hand, in a text editor. every line of html, css and javascript is right there in view-source, unminified. there is no build step because there is nothing to build.

the bill of materials

zsh — ~/colophon

du -sh ./codemania.dev

html ......... ~8K per page, hand-typed

styles.css ... 32K, one file, no preprocessor

javascript ... 51K, and most of that is the terminal you summon with ctrl+k

fonts ........ 459K. JetBrains Mono, five weights, self-hosted

frameworks ... 0

build step ... none

trackers ..... 0. analytics is checking the github stars manually

cookies ...... 0. localStorage remembers your theme, and that is the entire surveillance program.

offline ...... yes. a 2K service worker keeps a copy once you've visited
