About

This website was lovingly hand written by Daniel.

I'm a software engineer, coder, nerd, who likes exploring technology.

I've gone back and forth between having a hand-crafted site and wordpress site several times. In the past, I've tried to create my own framework for publishing a page, which ends up being too much to maintain. This time, there's no framework, just plain php, html, and a little js.

I wrote the comment system myself in php backend + js frontend. Feel free to try to break it, hack it, etc, and let me know if you do.

One of my goals for the current design was that its extremely lite, which means it loads fast, and feels responsive. I discovered vanjs, a very tiny js library, which lets me code responsive javascript components (like the comment form).

Privacy is another goal. As far as a privacy policy goes, when you submit a comment, the comment is stored with your ip address and the time it was created. You may also provide your email address when you make a comment. In this case it's stored for the purpose of sending you an email in case someone replies to your comment.

This is a personal website where I make cool things to share. You'll never be flooded with ads and trackers here, and this website will work on slow connections.
