This site runs on a small Rust backend I wrote myself — no framework on the frontend for public pages, just server-rendered HTML from the same templates every time. The look hasn't changed; what's underneath has. The one place a JS app runs at all is the admin panel I use to write posts, and it never ships to visitors.
The look is a deliberate mix of two things: a classic terminal — monospace type, scanlines, a blinking cursor — and the amber segmented displays used in 90s car trip computers and dashboards. It's meant to feel like a dashboard module more than a web page.
Colours are driven by a small set of CSS custom properties at the top of site.css, so the whole palette can be retuned by editing a few values.
