The Story Behind

When I needed a personal space on the web, I turned to something familiar - a template created by my friend Sanju. His minimalist approach resonated with me. No clutter. Just content that matters.

Why This Template?

Sometimes the best choices come from trust. Sanju’s work has always impressed me with its simplicity. While I’m primarily an Android developer, I appreciate clean design when I see it. This template just clicked.

Features

• Uses: My apps and hardware as tools that shape my work
• Writings: Experiences worth sharing, lessons worth remembering
• More Coming: Planning to add few more components to match my style

Tech Behind the Scenes

This site runs on a stack chosen for reliability and simplicity:

• Astro: Making static sites simple
• TailwindCSS: Clean, consistent styling
• Markdown: Writing content feels natural
• TypeScript: Keeping code quality high
• Biome: Quick formatting and linting
• Cloudflare Pages: Smooth deployment

My Workflow

I keep it simple. Write in Obsidian, commit to git, and watch it go live. The .md format means I can focus on content, not complexity. It’s a workflow that fits perfectly with how I think and work.

Design Philosophy

I believe in uncluttered spaces. While I didn’t design this template, I chose it because it reflects what I value - simplicity. No distractions. Just pure content.
