You might have noticed things look a bit different around here. I finally got around to refreshing the blog design with the aid of Claude Code. Thanks for drafting this post also go the same way.

What's New

• Dark and light mode — The site now respects your system preference. No more blinding white pages at 2 AM.

• Retro-inspired styling — I went for a look that nods to the old-school web while staying readable. Monospace headers, clean lines, nothing fancy.

• Search — There's now a search box in the header! Finding that one post about Arduino timers from 2014 should be much easier now. Try it out and see if Claude just hallucinated that joke!

• Related posts — Single post pages now show related articles in the sidebar (desktop) and at the bottom (mobile). Hopefully this surfaces some older posts that might still be useful.

The underlying tech is still Eleventy with Liquid templates, but I did upgrade to newer version of 11ty with some AI help — Opus 4.5 did most of the work and even advised against upgrading to a fancier framework, which I appreciated greatly.

Let me know if anything looks broken on your end.
