# Monotrope
|
|
|
|
Personal blog and server infrastructure for monotrope.au.
|
|
|
|
## Theme & Concept
|
|
|
|
The name is a play on [monotropism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropism) —
|
|
the theory of autistic cognition as deep, singular focus. The site is built around
|
|
that idea: deep attention, flow states, and resisting the fragmentation of modern
|
|
(especially AI-mediated) work. It's also an exercise in ownership — writing and
|
|
reviews live here instead of on corporate platforms.
|
|
|
|
The tone is personal and reflective. Content includes writing (posts) and book
|
|
reviews across all genres.
|
|
|
|
The terminal/CRT visual aesthetic is deliberate, not just decorative — it
|
|
reinforces the themes of simplicity, focus, and rejecting modern web bloat.
|
|
No JavaScript unless strictly necessary. No images or decorative elements beyond
|
|
CSS. The design should feel minimal, typographic, and monospaced-first.
|
|
|
|
## Hosting
|
|
|
|
DigitalOcean droplet, Sydney region, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
|
|
|
|
## Conventions
|
|
|
|
- All shell scripts use `set -euo pipefail`
|
|
- All server changes go through Ansible — no one-off SSH commands
|
|
- Ansible tasks must be idempotent
|
|
- Australian English in content and comments
|
|
- No CI/CD — deploys are manual via `make deploy`
|
