_trai´chu, n. A simple, semantic start page built with HTML, CSS, and a mouse-sized bit of JavaScript.
_traichu's markup is valid and aims to adhere to HTML semantics. Traditional Japanese, WCAG 2.0 compliant colors make up the color palette. The monospace font is ol' Fira Code loaded via Google Fonts. Icons are inline SVGs, DuckDuckGo's API delivers the favicons, and OpenWeather's API provides the weather forecast and icons. Vanilla JavaScript and CSS handle all interactivity.
DuckDuckGo is the default search engine because privacy is important 'round here.
