Core Design Principles

Slackware Philosophy: Clean, essential, no bloat
Config-Driven: All structure (menus, pages, URLs) defined in hugo.toml
Bilingual (IT/EN): i18n files for all UI strings
Dark/Light Toggle: Theme switcher in hamburger menu
Hacker Aesthetic: Purple accent (#a855f7), monospace typography, subtle dot-grid background, terminal-style elements

Page Structure

1. Home / Landing
→ Hero section (name, bio, photo)
→ CTA: Articles | Contact
→ Content from _index.md
2. Articles Section
→ List of posts (chronological)
→ Single article view
→ Content from content/ (Page Bundles)
3. Static Pages (config-driven)
→ /is (About)
→ /is/here (Contact)
→ /is/legal (Privacy)
(Easy to add more via hugo.toml)
