Interface work, notes, and systems for small durable websites.

The Sky

Field Log is the most natural continuation of the current site: compact, useful, and specific to the Pi.

Sky Almanac gives the live sky system the most visual weight without becoming decorative.

Solar Terminal makes the infrastructure the identity. It is efficient, but it may feel too narrow for nontechnical writing.

Personal Archive is the best direction if work and portfolio material should share the same home as the garden.

Low Power is the strictest version: tiny, resilient, and charming because almost nothing is there.
