On Simplicity

There's a certain joy in building something with the fewest moving parts possible. This blog is a perfect example.

The stack

Layer	Choice
Backend	Flask (Python)
Styling	Tailwind CSS
Content	Markdown files
Database	None

No build step. No JavaScript framework. No ORM. Just Python reading markdown files and rendering HTML.

Why it works

1. Zero configuration — clone, install, run
2. Easy to write — just create a .md file
3. Easy to understand — the entire app is one file
4. Fast enough — for a personal blog, this is more than sufficient

Sometimes the best architecture is the one you don't have to think about.
