I made a blog. This is it.

The design is inspired by NFOs, GameFAQs walkthroughs and ASCII art.

� For The Nerds �

Made with GatsbyJS, uses GitHub Actions to build and hosted on S3. Planning to make it just HTML and TXT files someday because, you know, fuck the system and all that.

Currently, there is no comments section but feel free to mail me. Once the blog picks up a bit of traffic I will be implementing Webmentions.

You may be wondering how the design can be accessible to screen readers with so much decorative text. The “aria-hidden” tag prevents that text from being read.

<p aria-hidden="true">Visible text screen readers should ignore</p>

Having fallback text that is hidden from sighted users but present for screen-readers is not trivial. Fallback text uses a screen-reader only technique that hides text off-screen. You can find a detailed walkthrough of that here.

Source code is available on GitHub.
