Colophon
This is the personal notebook of Pareen Lathia. It's a place to keep writing, projects, and a directory of things worth remembering — all in one running index. Nothing here is sponsored, tracked, or optimised for a feed.
How it's made
Built with Astro and written in plain Markdown files kept in a git repository. There's no database and no server to keep alive — the whole site is rendered to static HTML and can live on any host. Every page is hand-styled; there is no UI framework or component library under the hood.
It's set in Fraunces for display, Newsreader for reading, and Spline Sans Mono for the machine-set bits. The paper colour, the red pencil, and the table-of-contents index are all deliberate — I wanted it to feel like a thing a person keeps, not a thing a template made.
Everything is a post
Under the hood there's exactly one kind of thing: a post. An essay, a project, and a directory entry are all posts with a different label. That keeps the writing honest and the site simple — one index, one feed, one place to look.
