Some Was True is built with Daystream, a custom static site generator written in Python. Content is authored in Markdown with YAML frontmatter and stored as plain text files.
The site is hosted on Amazon S3 and served via Amazon CloudFront. DNS is managed through Amazon Route 53.
Body text is set in Georgia, a serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter. Navigation and interface elements use a system sans-serif stack — whatever your operating system prefers. No web fonts are loaded.
The site contains no tracking scripts, no analytics, and no cookies. It has no advertising or sponsored content.
The source code for Daystream is available on GitHub.
