My personal website: long essays, short notes and links, the small websites I build, the books I read and a /now page.
Live site: bebhuvan.com
The design is Contributor on the grid (October 2026): a 12-column grid with numbered sections on ink rules, Host Grotesk for headlines and labels, Source Serif 4 for everything read at length, margin notes in their own columns beside the text, and one flame accent. White ground, no dark mode, zero client-side JavaScript.
The notes are a commonplace book that used to live at rabbitholes.garden; all of it moved here in October 2026 with the same slugs.
Everything is edited in Pages CMS (.pages.yml). Saving commits to this repo, and the site deploys itself a minute or two later.
- Notes: title, kind (note, link, quote, verse), the source link if there is one, and the text. The date fills itself in.
- Essays: plain Markdown, so margin notes (
[^1]) and embeds survive. New essays start as drafts: readable at their address, not listed anywhere. Untick Draft to publish. - Books: title, author, reading/read, and a one-line verdict. Notes optional.
- Now: add a new entry; the newest is the /now page and older ones stay below it.
- Astro 7, static, Markdown content collections (
src/content.config.ts) - Cloudflare Workers (static assets + a small redirect Worker,
src/worker.js), deployed by GitHub Actions on push tomaster - Rehype plugins: margin notes from footnotes, image sizes and srcsets, tidy bare links
scripts/images.mjsruns before every build: sizes for every image, WebP copies of heavy uploads
