hi, i'm ashe

I am a professional web developer, usually making use of tools like React, Webpack, Typescript, etc - the whole mess of "modern" web dev stuff.

This site is something different, a bit of an experiment in minimalism for me. A chance to return to my roots of carefully crafting a website by hand.

As such, here are my rules for the site:

• No pre- or post-processing, transpilation, or other code-generation
• To the best of my ability, the source will be clean and understandable
• When used, javascript will be minimal, and intentional
• The site will be usable in older or esoteric browsers (such as Lynx)
• This site will be privacy-preserving, with no client-side analytics and all resources hosted directly alongside the site itself. (Note that this site is hosted on Neocities, so your request data may still be used as described in their Privacy Policy)

I'm not ruling out JS or anything (making a delightful interactive experience is still one of my favorite things to do), but I'm taking the opportunity to step away from the tools I primarily use at work, and practice my other skills.
