About This Website

This website is intentionally simple.

Its purpose is to publish technical material in a form that remains readable, inspectable, and maintainable without depending on a large Web application or proprietary publishing platform.

Principles

The site follows a few practical principles:

  • source content should remain plain text;
  • the publication process should be reproducible;
  • generated HTML should work without client-side application frameworks;
  • navigation should be derived from explicit content structure;
  • styling should remain small and understandable;
  • JavaScript should be optional rather than fundamental;
  • documents should remain accessible through stable URLs;
  • hosting should be possible with a conventional HTTP server.

Org Mode

Org Mode is used as the source format because it works well for technical writing, structured documents, source-code blocks, links, tables, and notes while remaining directly editable as text.

Hugo parses the Org files during the build. Emacs remains the preferred editor, but it is no longer required for the static-site build itself.

Hugo

Hugo provides the site-level machinery that previously had to be implemented around the Org exporter: sections, templates, page metadata, ordering, navigation, and generated site output.

The objective is not to replace Org Mode, but to give the website a dedicated static-site model while preserving Org as the authoring language.

Minimal client-side behaviour

The existing theme switcher is retained as small optional JavaScript. The content itself does not depend on JavaScript to be readable.

There is no advertising system or analytics platform required by the site.
