Miscellaneous Notes and Ideas

Technical

Built and maintained in Hugo, fresh build with only the most minimalist theme prepared.
Every page should have a printer-friendly version — see [[../inspiration/print-stylesheet]].
All images as WebPs.
HTML and CSS should be annotated for those viewing the source.
Prefer <figure> tags over <img> tags. Add <figcaption> and <figure img>.
References to my other places on the web should use rel=me.
Incorporate a /style page (linked from /colophon) showing every HTML element as it appears on the site.
There must be a custom 404 page.
<div> should be only and exclusively for the site wrapper.

Links are the bedrock of the internet — they should be incorporated within the site and leading outside of it. This is what makes the web a high-quality interlinked network. Linkrot is devastating.
Images as images should be fairly rare, but visual design elements are welcome.
I’ve found that a lot of personal websites by the tech crowd are boring — portfolio without content.
I’d love to have a mascot: some kind of welcoming creature, guy, or thing that acts as both a logo and favicon. What?
On desktop: wider, filling most of the screen, with healthy margins left and right.
Splashes of color throughout. Pure neutrals is boring.
Unique link styles — something distinct from browser defaults.
This website should not be the stream: it should lean into the three-dimensionality of the web.
