About jellypuff
A paper desk on the internet — slow, editorial, and always a little round. We write about mornings, light, tea, and the small things we notice when we slow down.
Hi, I'm the puff behind the paper. jellypuff.link started as a sketch on #FFFBF5 — warm paper, never pure white — with a cloud that refused to be pointy. The web felt sharp, so we made something softer.
What we believe
- Softness is a craft. Rounded 16:10 covers, gentle shadows, lazy-loaded photos that appear like someone stretching awake.
- Words deserve paper. Set in Fraunces & Inter, 72ch prose, 1.85 line-height — to read with tea.
- Less JS, more story. Public pages ship < 50kb JS. No admin leaks, no draft enumeration, no tracking.
- Photos are editorial. Drag-drop to R2, responsive, with lightbox — and always with alt text.
The desk
The studio smells like honey and ink. Morning light turns the paper to gold at 7:12am — that's when we edit. Evening is for slower notes, when the city exhales and the screen dims to paper.
“Softness is not the absence of shape — it's the courage to stay round in a pointy world.”
