The name and the link to it were both already in the footer, just not connected: MIT © Sasha Denisov sat in the bottom bar as plain text, while sashadenisov.dev was a separate entry in the Links column under the faceless label Author.

Now the name itself is the link, in the shape litetune's footer uses:

Sasha Denisov · MIT

Same treatment, translated to this site's dark palette — mono at the muted foreground, underlined with a 2px offset, hover to full white. It is the only link down there that is not a project resource, so it reads as a link rather than as part of the copyright.

The Author entry is dropped; keeping it would put one URL in the footer twice.

Verified on the rendered output

Not on the build's success line — checked the generated HTML:

<span class="footer-copy">
  <a class="footer-author" target="_blank" rel="noopener"
     href="https://sashadenisov.dev">Sasha Denisov</a> · MIT
</span>

sashadenisov.dev appears exactly once, both CSS rules are emitted, and the footer updates on all 21 pages.

Note on the diff

22 lines added, 9 removed. dart format on a current SDK wants to rewrite this whole file (225/198), because it was already unformatted against that formatter before this change — repo-wide debt, not this PR's. Left alone so the diff stays reviewable.

The name and the link to it were both in the footer but not connected:
`MIT © Sasha Denisov` sat in the bottom bar as plain text, while
sashadenisov.dev was a separate entry in the Links column under the
faceless label "Author".

Now the name itself is the link, in litetune's shape — `Sasha Denisov ·
MIT` — with the same treatment translated to this site's dark palette:
mono at the muted foreground, underlined with a 2px offset, hover to
full white. It is the only link down there that is not a project
resource, so it is underlined rather than left to read as plain text.

The "Author" entry is dropped: keeping it would put one URL in the
footer twice.

Verified on the rendered output rather than on the build's success line
— `index.html` carries the anchor and both CSS rules, sashadenisov.dev
appears exactly once, and the footer updates on all 21 pages.
