About

I’m felix – a web designer and developer based in Brighton, UK. Or elswehere. Currently in Athens as it happens.

I keep making side projects, like my new ‘rate everything’ app – gRater – and made this blog as a home for my gRater posts.

I’ve started logging my runs too.

Colophon

How the sausage is made:

I built this site with the brilliant Astro framework and host it on GitHub which deploys to Netlify.

I decided to use Tailwind for the CSS as I needed to learn it for a client job and this site was a perfect test case. I’ve come around from being a Tailwind hater to a Tailwind begrudging respecter.

Font wise, I use Satoshi for the headings, and Inter for the body copy.

I use glightbox for the lightbox/image galleries (code)

I use Plausible Analytics for privacy-first stats, you can view my meagre page views on the stats page

Running page

I’ve created a shortcut on my iPhone using Health Auto Export that sends my latest fitness data to a serverless netlify/node function which uploads it to an appwrite.io database and triggers a build of this site which updates my logged runs page.
