My Digital House
I started this journey with just notes.rudrakabir.com, the place that I feel is my scattered notebook, that yet contains every other facet of my life. It naturally kinda flowed into what it has become right now. It’s kinda confusing to me to keep track of but it’s also coalescing into something, so I want to see where it goes.
over time, i made rudrakabir.com, and then garage.rudrakabir.com, as i was experimenting with different tech stacks, and then the different spaces came together.
ultimately, this is about getting across my headspace into this space as close as possible, and seeing what happens. I’ve always struggled with defining my identity as like some people do so easily like so many fantasy guilds. “I’m an accountant or arithmancer”, but I don’t really know.
So this is an experiment in removing it from my head, and putting it out there, and hopefully building something beautiful along the way. w
The Rooms
rudrakabir.com - The workspace? center? door? entry point
this is i guess the most static part of the space. it updates the least, and is mostly just there to lead to the other parts.

- Place to break things and learn

Technical Notes
- All sites deployed through Netlify
- Each subdomain is its own GitHub repo
- Keeping them separate makes deployment and maintenance easier
- Can use different tech stacks for different purposes
- Can track analytics separately if needed
Why This Structure
- Each space has its own purpose and audience
- Different update frequencies and necessity of polish - notes is no polish, door is high polish
- Different technical needs
- Clean separation of concerns
- Easy to maintain and modify independently
Remember: This is a living document. As my digital house grows and changes, this map should be updated to reflect its current state.
