And at long last, finished redesigning the main articles pages themselves, for example.

I’ve been intending to do this for at least two years, and for once am glad that I procrastinated on it. If I’d done it even mid-last year, it would’ve been in vanilla CSS instead of Tailwind, and over the subsequent years after that all the same problems around maintainability would’ve reoccurred. The site’s now close to being 100% Tailwind, and I’m more confident that I’ll be able to change things in the future without having to page a bunch of site-specific CSS context back into my brain, and without accidentally breaking anything as styles, you know, cascade.

The redesign is far from perfect (e.g. the tables of contents that were there before are MIA for now), and I’ll be tweaking it as I go, but I wanted to get something out the door instead of continuously delaying it into infinity. I’m in Europe all next month, and while I hope to do many writing dispatches from there, the likelihood is that no major design projects will be forthcoming.
