Colophon

The Control Room is a personal website built to feel like a modern cockpit: calm, focused, and fast.

Stack

• Framework: Next.js 16 (App Router)
• Styling: Tailwind CSS v4
• Content: Content Collections + MDX
• Search: Orama
• Fonts: Satoshi, Newsreader, Monaspace Neon
• Deployment: Vercel

Design influences

The design borrows from spacecraft dashboards, research tools, and the quiet density of well-made notebooks. Dark mode keeps the focus on content and reduces visual noise.

Typography

Satoshi handles UI text, Newsreader handles long-form prose, and Monaspace Neon handles code. The mix balances clarity with character.

Performance

Most pages are statically generated. Search and graph data are precomputed at build time so navigation stays fast even as the archive grows.

Accessibility

Keyboard-first navigation, clear focus states, semantic markup, and strong contrast are non-negotiable. The command palette is the primary navigation surface.

Source

The codebase is maintained on GitHub.
