What I'm Doing Now
This is a /now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. It's a snapshot of what I'm focused on right now.
Current Focus
- Maintaining and refining static site themes and starters, including 11ty Indie Web Blog Starter and Campfire (Hugo).
- Continuing community organizing and writing with Write Club, facilitating inclusive creative spaces.
- Publishing and curating long-form writing and research; growing a digital garden of notes and essays.
- Supporting non-profits and small orgs with accessible, fast JAMstack sites and content strategy.
Stack: Eleventy / Hugo, Tailwind CSS, Netlify. Notes in Obsidian + Bear; drafting in Ulysses.
Learning & Tools
- Deepening workflows around Eleventy/Hugo, Tailwind, and IndieWeb best practices.
- Iterating knowledge systems with Obsidian and Bear; drafting long-form in Ulysses.
- Exploring ethical community/monetization models via Discord, Patreon, and newsletters.
Hardware
- Laptop: MacBook Air (Mβseries). Why: silent, long battery, enough power for static builds.
- Input: Mechanical keyboard (lowβprofile tactile) + ergonomic mouse/trackball. Why: comfort and reduced strain during long sessions.
- Display: 27" IPS 4K/1440p. Why: crisp type and more columns in code/design.
Community
Building accessible spaces for writers and makers. Platforms: Discord, newsletter, and occasional Patreon updates.
Optional: Current Goals
- Ship iterative improvements to open-source themes and docs.
- Publish more essays from the research backlog.
Optional: Reading/Listening
