hi!! this is my first post on my new personal site, ariel.hart.cat~

I finally made myself a little corner of the internet. No algorithm, no feed, no engagement metrics. Just me, a text editor, and some markdown files.

what this place is

This is where I'll write about things I find interesting. Probably a mix of:

• networking stuff and niche tech I've been digging into
• anime I'm watching
• random thoughts that don't fit anywhere else

No posting schedule, no theme, no pressure. Just vibes.

how it's made

The site runs on Eleventy and is styled to look like Windows 98, because I think that's cute and funny. Writing a new post is just dropping a markdown file into a folder, which is exactly the kind of simplicity I wanted.

Hosted on Nekoweb, part of the nekonet — a small web revival project I think is really lovely.

Anyway, welcome! Make yourself at home. (｡♥‿♥｡)
