Design system

Everything on the site, rendered live with the same CSS. Change the stylesheet, see it here first.

Type

h1 · 1.5rem / 700

Troels

.lbl h2 · .875rem / 500 / uppercase / .15em tracking + hairline

Section label

.dt · dateline under the title on /now, /agents, /speed, /readable · dt .6875rem / 500 / uppercase / .15em · dd 500 / tabular-nums in a time element

Updated

cite in .ls · a book or work named in muted text · upright, var(--fg); strong for a product name

  • Reading The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene
  • Making Brand Manager a place to manage your brand rather than a place to build one

h3 · the same on every page · .875rem / 700

Item title

body · 14px / 1.5 · var(--fg)

Started in 2013 with Fitbay — co-founded with a few friends, raised twice, crashed at full speed. Finished my Multimedia Design degree the same year. Had no idea what I was doing. Wasn’t the only one.

.mu / .it p / .tx · 14px / var(--mu) · descriptions and secondary text

A project dashboard for solo builders—status, next steps, links, and of course agent friendly. Irregular long-form on software, craft, and the AI era.

.sm · .875rem / var(--mu) · footnotes

The pieces are on display at /design-system. If you’re a machine, /agents has what you need.

.outro · .875rem / var(--mu) / left hairline · the closing note about a page, below the last section on /now

This page is part of the /now movement — a quiet convention where folks publish what they’re currently working on. Reach me at trolz@hey.com.

.intro · 14px / var(--mu) · the opening paragraph of a page, on /agents, /readable and /speed (italic there)

You clicked the number in the footer. Your browser measured that line, I didn’t type it: how many bytes the page took and how long it took to arrive.

code · .875em mono · file names and headers in running text on /agents and /readable

Ask a page for text/markdown in the Accept header and you get the twin from the same URL.

dl · plain two-column facts list, dt var(--mu) · Facts on /agents, On the wire on /speed

.cap · 12px mono · specimen captions, this page only

.cap · looks like this

Links

text link · soft underline (--lk), darkens on hover, always var(--fg)

After building games for Danske Spil, I joined Timekit and fell in love with Frontend all over again.

Also inside gray text: Product Engineer at Secomea. The link stays dark.

navigation link · title/label/back · no underline, underline on hover

Hover me — same rule as grid titles, section labels and .nl

.nl · gray medium · back-link with a loop arrow (inline SVG, 1.25 stroke) · moves into the left gutter from 64rem

Index

.skip · first in body, off-screen until focused by keyboard, jumps to the header (#c) · shown here as it looks when focused

external marker · .ar · only on navigation titles, never in running text

Projects

Reading and writing

Yjs migration teardown

Drafted, queued for Substack. Why Yjs over plain Broadcast, the atomic-seed SQL, the offline reconnect failure mode, the React StrictMode gotchas.

Letters

Irregular long-form on software, craft, and the AI era. Three posts in April. New ones queued.

Thoughts and life

A new roof on the farmhouse

About 95% done ripping the old one off and putting the new one on. The remaining 5% is, as always, the slow part.

Figure

h1 svg · a mark inline before the title, 1.1em · /troels/clover-tattoo

Clover tattoo

figure · lazy WebP below the fold, srcset 600/1200, rounded, placeholder in --bd · figcaption .875rem / var(--mu)

Pencil sketches of clovers on paper, and a page where the letters C, A and P are drawn overlapping into a clover shape
Sketching clovers, and the page where C, A and P first met.

.mark · the closing figure, 9rem centred SVG, 3 stroke

The mark. One line, three letters.
