Oliver's Corner

My personal website — technical write-ups, projects, and a ball pit.

Built with SvelteKit and mdsvex, fully prerendered to static HTML, deployed on Vercel.

Why "Oliver's Corner"?

The full sentimental meaning is "Oliver's corner of the internet", but a shorter domain works much better for memorability and SEO. Updates happen (hopefully) on a weekly basis and will be push promptly at noon on Sundays into the corresponding branch; whether it will be merged is a different story.
