To yak-shave, or not to yak-shave
Herein I contemplate how to present the root of my internet existence.

eciding whether I should just keep hyperWiki or move the content to a minimal HTML and CSS website that I would hand-code from scratch.
I'm kind of leaning toward the latter idea. I think it would be a fun project.
Pros:
- I'd be able to display the stuff in the accessibility-friendly way that I want, with my own styling.
- It would be original, and true to the indieweb spirit.
- All the files can be placed in a single 1-level HTML directory. Modularity at the file-level, instead of multiple sub-directories. This would simplify linking to them in the HTML code.
- One of my main just-right OCD trigger points with my web site is the goddamn font. I can store my desired font files locally in the HTML directory. No linking to them on some remote CDN somewhere.
Cons:
- I'd have to figure out some sort of static navigation menu thing. Maybe look around and see how others do this on their own static websites.
