gloom.tools used to be a landing page for some security tools I was building. Most of those projects stalled out or went in different directions, so the old site was just collecting dust.

This is the replacement. It’s a place to write about projects and research — security, infrastructure, tooling, whatever seems worth documenting.

what changed

The old site was hand-rolled HTML with product pages for tools that weren’t shipping. This one is built with Astro, which lets me write markdown files that become blog posts. No CMS, no database, no JavaScript shipped to the browser. Just static HTML deployed to GitHub Pages.

what to expect

Irregular posts about:

  • security tooling and research
  • infrastructure patterns
  • things I’m building or tearing apart
  • notes that don’t fit anywhere else

That’s it. No newsletter signup, no analytics tracking, no cookies. Just text on a dark screen.
