The source for admataz.com
admataz has grown - this is still relevant to my approach to this site.
it's my site, I do what I like.
-
Original. The site reflects and records my ongoing ideas, expressions and professional work. This means regular subjective updates to the site content.
-
Experimental. The site code is created by me, using self-made tools over libraries and frameworks where I can. My personal site is an opportunity for learning, experimentation with my craft and developing core skills. This means regular unstable additions to the site functionality.
-
Minimal and progressive. The site design, features and technology only contain what is needed. This means less structure, navigation and technical capacity. It also means less bloat.
-
Open. When I produce original code for this site, I expose it, explain it and share it.
-
Incomplete. It's never finished because there's always space for growth and new ideas.
-
Mine. I am not a client or employer. I can do what I like, break the rules and be inefficient.
The site content resides in src/content as a mixture of markdown, json and come custom javascript. These are all built into the static wesite using blockstatic - a module I wrote while making this site.
There are some other interesting front-end javascript experiments in src/components.
