Contact me (will code for food)

You can find me on Discord at @joshtheb. I take commissions for Minecraft shader and web development.

I used to have a contact form here but all I ever got was people trying to sell me things for cleaning dog paws (true story).

This website is made entirely in vanilla HTML and CSS, templated with Nunjucks, and served by Express.js. Sometimes you don't need a UI framework!
