It's now open source. > Flexoki is designed for reading and writing on digital screens. It is inspired by analog printing inks and warm shades of paper. > The name Flexoki comes from flexography — a common printing process for paper and cardboard. I spent many years working with dyes and inks particularly for my companies Inkodye and Lumi. I also have a fascination with digital paper. I wanted to bring the comfort of analog color to emissive digital screens. > One challenge is that ink on paper is a subtractive process whereas LCD and OLED screens use additive color. Replicating the effect of mixing pigments digitally is difficult. > Mixing blue and yellow paint creates green, whereas digital color mixing results in a brownish hue. Watercolors retain their saturation when you dilute them, whereas reducing the opacity of digital colors makes them look desaturated. > Another challenge with digital color is human perception across color spaces. Ethan Schoonover’s color scheme Solarized (2011) was an important inspiration for Flexoki. His emphasis on CIELAB lightness relationships helped me understand how to find colors that appear cohesive. > I found that choosing colors with perfect perceptual consistency can be at odds with the distinctiveness of colors in practical applications like syntax highlighting. If you adhere too closely to evenness in perceptual lightness you can end up with a palette that looks washed out and difficult to parse. > Solving for all of these problems is how I arrived at Flexoki. I wish it could have been more science than art, but it wasn’t. Some day, I hope to arrive at a more reliable way to generate digital color palettes that respect the constraints I laid out. In the meantime, I hope you find this iteration of Flexoki useful. >  ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/kepano/status/1710791889807679899)) > a quick demo of how I edit my website with Obsidian 1.8 > write in @obsdmd → auto-build jekyll → preview local site in web viewer tab → push to github → auto-deploy to live site > I've been making websites for twenty five years, and this is by far the nicest it's ever been https://t.co/Dlw7Iorxop ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/kepano/status/1869857708394086450))  ## New highlights added January 1, 2025 at 5:24 PM > @obsdmd 99% of the work is keeping track of the things I do, which is explained on my blog here: > https://t.co/X0QkSAYzxN > the visualization is a simple web app that takes the data and displays it using my Flexoki color scheme... maybe a 2025 goal is to make this a real Obsidian plugin?

I can write and publish directly from Obsidian > 2. I can preview the site offline > 3. I can switch hosts easily, all the data is in my control > For a personal site I find that CMSes like Wordpress, Squarespace, and Webflow, add too much complexity and liability, while being less customizable. Friction has to be super low, otherwise I won't update it. > Instead learn to use a static site generator. There are many options: Jekyll, Hugo, Quartz, Astro, Eleventy, etc. It's become simple to build and deploy them. Once you have it set up, everything else is a breeze.
