Colophon & introduction

Hey, I’m Emily.

I'm an indie builder. Currently working on Mortrel, and I have a couple other ideas.

What you’ll find here

Essays on society, blogs about my products, how I'm improving my AI workflow, other random things.

“Write the post you wish you’d found at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday.”

How it’s made

Built with Astro, set in Fraunces for display and Newsreader for body copy — both variable serifs with optical sizing. Code is in JetBrains Mono. Layout is hand-tuned CSS, no framework. The grain you’re reading on top of is an SVG noise filter.
