# Yonnia

Independent developer — I write code, and I write.

Officially Eliot Leu; Yonnia is what I go by. eliotleu.com points here.

Independent developer. I build products, write code, and keep notes. Into music, travel, books, film, and football.

## Recent writing

- [Choosing an AI PPT skill: HTML or native pptx](https://yonnia.com/en/blog/ppt-skills-html-or-native-pptx) — 2026-08-27 — There is no consensus winner. Install count, GitHub stars, and independent scoring each crown a different skill — and their outputs are not comparable.
- [Why I hand-wrote this site](https://yonnia.com/en/blog/hand-written-static-site) — 2026-08-26 — A personal site's SEO ceiling is set by its HTML, not by its framework. Here is the full reasoning behind dropping the build tooling.

## Projects

- [Markdown mirrors](https://yonnia.com/en/projects/markdown-mirrors) — Every page on this site has a .md twin at the same path, so an AI agent can read the content instead of parsing the layout.
- [SEO audit script](https://yonnia.com/en/projects/seo-audit) — A post-build script that catches the defects in a static site which look fine in a browser and broken to a crawler.
- [Yonnia.com](https://yonnia.com/en/projects/yonnia-site) — This site. A zero-dependency static generator that ships not one line of JavaScript to the browser.
