If Else | Some thoughts, some code (https://ifelse.io/)

Trying out a new look for the blog (https://ifelse.io/). When I first started writing, I was pretty swamped with other things, so I had just forked and modified an existing Ghost theme to suit my needs. It was clean and I was happy with for the most part. I still don't have enough time to dedicate to making the design incredible, but the old look was bothering me. It felt way too cookie-cutter.

So, I thought I'd try something different. I'd seen Dave Liepmann's cool Tufte Css lib on Hacker News, and thought I might see if I couldn't something with that. Then I thought "Lambdas are cool" and if you use your imagination you can even look at it as an abstract representation of a logical branch, an if..else (one line...becoming two? Eh?).

At the very least, it was better than trying to come up with a cool logo myself. Just leave it to the Greeks.

Any thoughts, feedback? Let me know!
