this site is a small terminal.
|
|
|
|
it's static. hugo turns my text into plain html files, and that's all the server ever hands out. no database, no backend, nothing to log into. it runs on almost any host.
|

|
the bar at the top is a real shell. you can type in it. work, about, studio, openbureau take you to those pages. help shows the basics, tab completes a word, the up arrow brings back what you typed before. not everything it knows is in the list. every page is also a file listing, so you browse the projects, and even the legal notice, like directories and read them on the spot.

the rest is small things. the type is iosevka curly slab, hosted here and not pulled from anyone. the cursor is drawn pixel by pixel. there's a dark mode if you type dark. nothing is tracked, no cookies, no analytics.

it follows the same idea as [openbureau](/openbureau/): own your tools, keep your formats readable. the content is cc by-sa, hugo and the theme are open source (the [legal notice](/legal-notice/) has the details), and the site builds into a docker image so anyone can run their own copy.
