Hello, world
Why I finally built a personal site, and what I plan to put on it.
I’d been planning to build a personal website for several years in a row. I wanted it to be both beautiful and minimalist/quick to build, but every time I’d get no further than choosing a tech stack, and—if I was lucky—creating a prototype in Figma. I decided it was time to put an end to this…
This site is intentionally simple: Astro for the pages, Vue for the few places where interactivity is needed, and MDX—so that writing a post meant simply opening a file in Notepad.
What goes here
- Notes. A few brief thoughts I’d like to share that might be helpful to you [the readers]
- Articles. Blog posts that reveal the inside story of my projects or research on various topics.
- Projects. Projects Page—whether useful or not—is essentially a tracker of my personal productivity.
The rules I gave myself
- A post does not need to be finished to be useful.
- No analytics, no comments, no newsletter popup.
- If publishing takes more than a minute, the setup is wrong.
Write the thing you needed to read six months ago.
That’s the whole plan. Let’s see how far it goes and what comes of it. Welcome.
