Technology

This site is built with a carefully chosen stack:

• Eleventy – static site generator
• Nunjucks – templating engine
• Markdown – content format
• Vanilla CSS – with custom properties
• GitLab – repository & CI/CD
• Peasant Repo – repository for blog
• Cloudflare – hosting with pages.

The code is open source and designed to be fast, accessible, and easy to maintain. No tracking, no ads, just content.

Privacy

I take privacy seriously. This site collects absolutely nothing about you.

• No analytics tracking
• No cookies
• No third-party scripts that collect data
• No advertising
• No email collection
• No user accounts

Note: Signing up with Substack on Substack, will require your email.

Your visits are not tracked, your data is not sold, and I don't even know who you are. The only data I see is what Cloudflare logs for security and performance (IP address, user agent, etc.), which is automatically deleted after a short period and never shared with third parties except as required by law.

This site is a labor of love, built with open source tools, hosted on Cloudflare. The code is publicly available because I believe in transparency.

❤️ Built with love, open source and respect for your privacy.
