About

Expand is a personal blog dedicated to long-form writing, thoughtful exploration, and quiet contemplation. It's a space designed for reading without distraction.

The design draws inspiration from Japanese minimalism — embracing restraint, generous whitespace, and careful attention to typography. Every element serves a purpose; nothing is added for decoration alone.

This site is intentionally simple. No analytics tracking your behavior. No comments section demanding your engagement. No social media widgets competing for attention. Just words, images, and ideas.

This site is built with Astro, styled with plain CSS, and hosted on Netlify. Content is written in MDX and version-controlled with Git.

The typography uses Inter, a typeface designed for computer screens with a focus on high legibility.
