Jay's website

jayperry.works

A website for my writing and drawing and everything else.

Technical

This repository is the website's front-end code, built with Astro and Node. The content, graphics, and imagery the website displays are managed with Prismic, a headless CMS. It's hosted on (and configured for) Netlify.

The code here is written for my own specific needs and preferences -- it's just my website, not a template or theme. In some places it's a hot mess. It's a work in progress, and always will be.

My aim these days is to lean on the web platform as much as I can, with as few dependencies as I can manage. My site supports modern, evergreen browsers. I use modern, vanilla CSS, including variables, grid, flexbox, and container queries. Client-side Javascript is, likewise, vanilla and minimal. I'm starting to use web components for certain things. To that extent, this site is also a place for me to experiment with new-to-me techniques and features.
