devious little fucken. lifehack for you. if you’re writing an ordered list in Markdown, you can use 1. to start every line, and HTML will automatically do the counting for you. this way you don't have to keep track of what number goes where as the list grows or changes :) stay frosty

🖼️ and all of the social media images are just puppeteer screenshots of pages that are also automatically built by 11ty.

👹 we also use a little hack i’ve used before on strange.website to generate opengraph images for pages that don’t have permalinks. we reference the social image for a post at a permalink URL and then use the meta http-equiv="Refresh" tag to instantly redirect to that post on the site proper:

it felt unreal to see it IRL, hanging out of a sheer cliff wall, over the lake and surrounded by autumn leaves like that

in order to further nail the letters metaphor:

📮 we went through archival post office material to find stamps and create partial semi-fictionalized postmarks for each locale.

🖋️ we also scanned in some casual signatures to make SVGs out of and got some nice pen scratches in the process :D

🔠 Strangers, By Spring uses type from Pangram Pangram Foundry — it’s not really secret that most of my design work is pretty type-heavy lol. i love picking a font i adore and letting comps flow from there.

🔊 me & Red worked together to pick out a short mixtape of songs that enriched the vibe of the writing, and then built a tiny poetic, text-based-RPG-inspired interface to let users immerse themselves a bit more if they want :)

🎞️ we used a tiny little fragment shader to transition images — each transition looks up the luminance values of the next image to be shown, and displaces the pixels of the current image by that amount. then we use GSAP ScrollTrigger to manage a progress uniform in the shader and inertial easing

the site respects `prefers-color-scheme` and `prefers-reduced-motion` preferences, and works just fine without javascript, as all sites should :)
