The original motivation for the $\kodama$ project was to create a static blog engine that truly satisfied my needs, similar to what Hexo, Hugo, Zola and others do.

Unfortunately, for various reasons, these static site generators (SSGs) all have issues when it comes to mathematical writing, which severely limits expressive power. This frustration persisted until I discovered $\forester$ and $\typst$.
I believe $\forester$ can meet the complex demands of mathematical writing, but if I wanted to migrate my old blog posts, I’d have to completely rewrite them. Another factor was LaTeX’s slow compilation speed and suboptimal editing experience. So, I decided to replace $\forester$’s $\katex$ + $\latex$ scheme with $\katex$ + $\typst$.
There’s also a smaller, yet still important, reason: I wanted a fully automatic dark theme that just works out-of-the-box.
