Colophon

This site is built and deployed deliberately small. The goal is for the site itself to be a working showcase of the stack, not a generic portfolio shell.

Stack

• Framework: Nuxt 4 on Vue 3. Server-side rendered at build time.
• Runtime and package manager: Bun. Faster installs, single binary, fewer moving parts than Node + npm.
• Content pipeline: @nuxt/content v3. Markdown files in content/, indexed at build time with SQLite (better-sqlite3) and queried from page components like a tiny embedded CMS.
• Hosting: Cloudflare Pages. Static prerendered output, edge-cached, no origin server to babysit.
• Styling: Plain CSS in app/app.vue. No Tailwind, no CSS-in-JS, no design system — the page count is small enough that a few hundred lines of CSS does the job, and the cascade is doing real work.
• Type font: Inter via system fallback chain. Loaded from the user's OS where available; no web-font network request.

Why these choices

• Why Nuxt over plain Vite or Astro: I wanted file-based routing, SSG out of the box, and a content layer that doesn't require wiring up MDX manually. Nuxt Content gives that with one module.
• Why Cloudflare Pages over Vercel/Netlify: I already use Cloudflare for DNS and want CDN to be a feature I depend on, not a vendor lock-in. Pages keeps that boundary clean.
• Why no Tailwind: The site is small and the design language is mine, not a utility-class dialect. When the page surface grows enough to justify the abstraction, I'll revisit.
