Hi, I'm Tania. I build open source projects and write the missing instruction manuals of the web.

I'm a developer, designer, and writer. I created this site to document everything I learn, and share a bit of myself with the world. My site is free and has no ads, affiliate links, or sponsored posts.

March 13, 2019
After a long and arduous journey, I've migrated the site from WordPress to Gatsby, a React/Node.js static site generator. View the source of the new website, and read about the migration! I'm loving Gatsby so far. If you see any formatting errors on a post, feel free to make a pull request and fix it on GitHub, or leave an issue if you find something I missed.
