michalove

eleventy • design
Initial observations: - Site title indicates focus on "Computational Philosophy" - Contains multiple project types: Research, Tools, Art, Activism, and Writing - Heavy emphasis on academic/theoretical writing (20+ Substack articles) - Projects tagged with frameworks like NextJS, Eleventy, Vite - Consistent themes around knowledge systems, networks, AI, and social impact - Mix of practical tools and theoretical research

Type matches: RESEARCH: Strong match

  • Academic focus in title (Computational Philosophy)
  • Multiple research projects tagged explicitly
  • Theoretical writing on complex topics
  • Focus on knowledge systems and epistemology
  • Academic methodology evident in content

ACTIVISM: Moderate match

  • Several activism-tagged projects
  • Social impact focus in some works
  • Community-oriented tools

TOOL: Moderate match

  • Multiple utility tools present
  • Practical applications

ART: Weak match

  • Few art projects
  • Not primarily focused on aesthetics

INTERACTIVE: Weak match

  • Limited focus on user interaction

Impact

Visual Impact Analysis:

Content Distribution:

  • Writing/Blog Posts: 45% (20+ Substack articles)
  • Tools/Projects: 25% (candlelight, reliquary, needmatch, etc.)
  • Activism Projects: 15% (mitrally, endhungerla, puulse)
  • Art Projects: 10% (whisperbloom, waterislife)
  • Research: 5% (soam, interplay-research-studio)

Visual Structure Rating: 7/10

  • Clean chronological layout
  • Clear categorization with tags
  • Consistent formatting for entries
  • External links clearly marked with ↗
  • Good use of whitespace

Content Organization:

  • Primary Categories: TOOL, ACTIVISM, ART, WRITING, RESEARCH
  • Secondary Tags: high-impact, complex, nextjs, substack, resonetics
  • Date-based sorting (newest to oldest)

Visual Hierarchy: Strong: Project titles and categories Medium: Dates and tags Light: Additional metadata and links

Areas for Improvement:

  1. Could benefit from visual separation between different content types
  2. Consider adding thumbnails/preview images
  3. Potential for better visual distinction between internal/external links

Overall Visual Impact Score: 8/10 The site maintains a clean, academic aesthetic appropriate for computational philosophy content while remaining highly readable and well-organized.
