Colophon

BrainStacks is built with Next.js, TypeScript, and MDX.

Content is written in Markdown.
Writing happens entirely in the terminal using Neovim.
The site is statically generated and deployed on Cloudflare Pages.

Code highlighting is powered by Shiki, and analytics are provided by
Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Design

The design is intentionally minimal.

The interface avoids visual noise and prioritizes reading and thinking.
Typography and spacing are tuned for long-form technical writing.

The site currently uses a dark theme only.

Philosophy

This blog is meant to be simple and durable.

There are no ads, no tracking scripts, and no growth mechanisms.

The goal is to create a quiet place for writing about systems, software engineering, AI, and engineering trade-offs.
