for a while now I've been beating the drum that you should just author your content in Markdown and use GitHub + VSCode as your CMS
with the right VSCode extensions and some imported CSS, your Markdown preview can match your site's content, giving you a WYSIWYG experience right in your browser!

another TI is now in the bag! this year I wasn't able to go to Hamburg with the rest of the Crimson Witnesses crew, but I did cook up a new website to feature our survival guide over the last several weeks!

made some progress on an idea I had a few months back, but it looks like I've hit a wall 😭
turns out you can't programmatically select child nodes in @figma.com widgets, so while I can load remote Kanji SVGs, I can't animate their strokes as I had hoped to!
wanted this to be a Slides widget

over the weekend I had a thought: what if you could do syntax highlighting for Japanese grammar?
to my surprise, there didn't seem to be an existing tool for this, so I decided to try making one myself
now I've got a prototype of a remark plugin that does just that!

because my school requires us to have an iPad, I’ve fallen into a nice workflow where I always have Shirabe Jisho (a dictionary app) up alongside slides/textbooks/websites to quickly look up any kanji I don’t recognize

took a trip out to Chichibu today without realizing it was where Anohana took place and proceeded to walk from one end of the city to the other to be an absolute weeb
