Various information about this website
Color scheme
Intended to feel like an e-ink reader. The colors come from the "IBM 8503" monitor palette as seen in the game Return of the Obra Dinn.
- Background: Parchment (
#ebe5ce) - Foreground: Dark Slate (
#2e3037)
Fonts
Nothing fancy: serif, 16px.
Images
After reading How to Build a Low-Tech Website by Low-tech Magazine, I decided to use dithering for images. Not only does it reduce the file size, but it also makes the images fit perfectly with the e-ink aesthetic.
Each image goes through the following process:
- Manually resized to desired source resolution.
- Dithered and resized to a max width of 800 px with didder.
- Optimized with Oxipng.
