Notes on building things, the internet, stories, and figuring life out.

About Me

Hello there. My name is **Naman**.

This website is a tiny personal satellite in the expanding universe of the internet. It is where I collect my thoughts, document the projects I build, and think out loud.

I’ve spent a lot of time on social networks, and while they are excellent for distribution, they are terrible for contemplation. This blog is my rejection of the feed. It has no view counters, no feedback algorithms, and no notifications. It’s just a quiet place to put down thoughts and hope they find a sympathetic reader.

The Philosophy

I believe in navigating the modern digital world autonomously, playfully, and surrounded by things and people we care about. Building a personal site like this is about charting our own course regardless of the prevailing winds—an act of pure, unshakeable pursuit of digital freedom and creativity.

What I Do

By day, I design systems and write code. By night, I experiment with ideas that don’t have to make business sense. I am deeply interested in:

  • Small Tech: Software that is fast, local-first, and respects user ownership.
  • The Craft of Writing: Crafting narratives that are clear, empathetic, and engaging.
  • Analog Tools: The durability of notebooks, paper maps, and mechanical watches.

Colophon

This site is built with extreme simplicity in mind:

  • Framework: Astro (no client-side javascript frameworks).
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS v4 (for utility classes and fast design variables).
  • Typefaces: Classic serif stack (Georgia/Cambria) for highly comfortable reading.
  • Hosting: GitHub Pages.
