Colophon

I want to craft my own blogging system. Every off-the-shelf system wants you to pick their version of blogging. I tried a few of them over the years starting from Blogger moving on to Blogengine.NET, Windows Live Writer and Wordpress before stopping blogging completely. This time I want to enjoy the process of writing along with the craft of building the tooling required. Thanks to LLMs, it doesn't seem time-consuming. Time will tell.

Indersen.com is typeset in Fraunces (serif) and Roboto Mono (monospace), self-hosted with no external dependencies.

URLs are flat and topic-based: indersen.com/slug. No dates, no type prefixes, no file extensions. A page's URL is its topic name, and content grows in place — a link post can evolve into a full essay without changing the URL.

Content lives anywhere in my vault — zettelkasten notes, project files, standalone pages. A heading marked as publishable is extracted into the site automatically. The extraction resolves internal links, strips private metadata, and produces clean org files that ox-publish converts to HTML. A GitHub Action runs the build on push and deploys to GitHub Pages.
