About this website

Storiesandnovels.com is home to my 79 published stories. Grayed-out titles in the table of contents go live roughly six months after being published elsewhere.

Back in the day, the site drew attention in books and conferences as an example of effective web typography. (The current typeface is Crimson Pro, served locally.) The design aims to facilitate reading, without the distractions of cookie banners, callouts, ads, mailing list signups, or subscription pop-ups.

The site is hand-coded in HTML and CSS, including the RSS feed. PHP is used for header and footer includes to make updating easier. No content management systems, databases, themes, or frameworks are used. This site also does not use javascript, images, or cookies. No analytics are collected; it’s about as privacy-focused as can be. (I have no idea if you’re reading this unless you send an email to say hello.) The site is hosted with Nearlyfreespeech.net for a penny a day.

Happy reading,
Franz Jørgen Neumann
