-**ARCHIVE NOTICE:** this repository is **deprecated** in favour of the new server-side rendered site! it includes a lot of the nice features i wanted to have for a long time, and you can find it [here](https://git.arimelody.me/ari/arimelody.me)!
-
this is a simple-ish website, built up from a foundation that used to be merely a placeholder page (which i have no git history for because i thought really far ahead :3)
eventually this will be built up with a custom backend (likely written in rust or go, whichever i have the most patience for ;p) to support all sorts of other fancy server-side features i want to eventually implement!
