How this site is made
A brief note on the stack, design direction, and the kind of website this is trying to be.
Stack
Built to stay owned
The site is built with Astro, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase, and deployed on Cloudflare Pages. The goal is not maximal complexity but a calm, maintainable home that remains under my own control.
Design
Editorial rather than product-like
The visual direction leans toward paper, print, library, and archive references rather than conventional app aesthetics. It is meant to feel quieter, slower, and more durable than a profile page.
Maintenance
Designed and written by Omar Hussein
Updated gradually rather than continuously
Built as a long-term personal home, not a platform-dependent profile
