This website is built with CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and not much else. The background and font colours change with a small JavaScript script and CSS, drifting through ten themes, from ink on rice paper to jade and midnight, with headings in gold. The changing colour scheme is meant to relax the eye and lessen the strain of staring at white or grey backgrounds. If your device is set to reduce motion, the site picks one theme and leaves it be.
The typeface is Catamaran, found through the Google Fonts library and on Font Squirrel. The Chinese is set in Noto Sans TC, in traditional characters, the way I learned to write them in Taiwan.
Much of the inspiration and design of this site was borrowed, if not outright stolen, from my friend Nathan Herald. I thank him for allowing me to take much of his code and ideas to create this space for myself.
