Hello world!

· 164 words · ~1 min


First post. This site is for notes on simulation work in semiconductor manufacturing: wafer-scale AI chips, computational lithography, and the numerics behind both.

Technically it's Markdown files in content/posts/, built to static HTML with Next.js. No CMS, no database, and the only client-side JavaScript is the light switch in the status bar.

what's in a post

A post is a .md file with frontmatter on top:

content/posts/hello-world.md
---
title: Hello world!
date: 2026-09-21
summary: What this site is about, and how it is put together.
draft: false
---

Everything else is GitHub-flavoured Markdown, plus a few extras:

  • fenced code with syntax highlighting (shiki under the hood)
  • $\LaTeX$ math via KaTeX — inline like E=mc2E = mc^2 or in display mode:
τgateCloadVddIon\tau_{\text{gate}} \approx \frac{C_{\text{load}} \cdot V_{dd}}{I_{\text{on}}}
  • tables, footnotes1, task lists, and raw HTML where needed.

the look

Monospace, one column, no animation apart from the cursor. It's what I'd want to read.
