Sorry for going off-topic, but kudos for UI/UX on your blog!

To name a few: Nice style (colors, font, style), "footnotes" visible on the margin, always on table of contents, interactivity and link previews on hover.

Nice. What's your tech stack?






No worries and thank you! The tech stack is really just Astro with content stored in Markdown files.

The link previews on hover are powered by Tippy.js [1] (maybe deprecated by now?). I wrote a script to collect all the links from my Markdown files, scrape the open graph tags and commit the data to the repo as JSON files.

The interactive demos are web components! I wrote a bit about how I built them [2] but maybe should do a more in-depth blog post at some point.
