Wow, that's uncanny. Your site looks lovely. Random remarks: I also used a fleuron as a decoration on my site before I replaced it with a little doodle (I call him Janusz). And, I'm even working on a recipes section for my own site at the moment! Also, hope the little subheader with the pronunciation of your name works.
Yeah, EB Garamond does the heavy lifting for me design-wise. I use it in Enso (enso.sonnet.io) and Sit. (sit.sonnet.io). I also have an alternative "brutalist" font stack (e.g. butter.sonnet.io), which I use in less serious/"louder" projects. I think I picked it up from a Germany based writer IIRC.
> How do you syndicate to Instagram and Twitter?
Instagram is hard. I don't know if even Buffer supports it without any manual steps. For Twitter I used their API. A GH Actions CRON job would query Contentful for the most recent posts, then push them to Twitter using the twitter NPM package. Recently it's been quite janky.
> I also met a lot of people through my work, including close friends. I love when people reach out and I try to reward it whenever it happens. What you describe seems like being a participant in a small community, instead of a person on a soapbox.
It does feel like this. Sometimes I manage connect some of the people I meet this way, but it happens rarely. I entertained the idea of having a small forum (like ponder.us).
(psst just checking out your carbonara recipe, here's my cacio e pepe with black garlic: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OUytE9oUnmnwf5BPqt79vqi_...)
