Colophon

In publishing, a colophon (

/ˈkɒləfən, -fɒn/

) is a brief statement containing information about the publication of a book such as an "imprint" (the place of publication, the publisher, and the date of publication). - Wikipedia - Colophon (publishing)

In the context of my website, I want to use this space to write up a bit of how this website is run. Inspired by Eliza Weisman and Marcus Herrmann.

Heavy lifting

This website is built with Astro 5.0 and is open source on GitHub at taxborn/taxborn.com. I use tailwindcss to help manage styles, though I hope to replace this with just CSS at some point.

The hardware is hosted by OVH, on a VPS I name Neon (I name all my devices based off of chemical elements).

Styling

I try to follow the Catppuccin Palette, it's very pleasing on the eyes and easy to invert for light-mode.

As for fonts, I use Atkinson Hyperlegible for most text, and JetBrains Mono for monospaced text/code.
