A personal internet that still feels human

A few principles for building online spaces with more texture, context, and care.

BR / noteWritten in public

A personal website does not need to behave like a polished brochure. It can be a small, calm place where projects have context, unfinished ideas are allowed to breathe, and a visitor can understand the person behind the output.

That means leaving room for texture: a note about what changed, a link to the source, a clear distinction between a draft and a finished piece. It also means treating attention as something to respect. The site should help someone find their way rather than asking them to decode a performance.

I want brendoh.com to feel like a living index rather than a final statement — useful when someone arrives for a project, but open enough that the next question has somewhere to go.
