First Post!

I first started working on this site a year ago. — I started working on it again when I had spare time as the COVID-19 situation arose. Coming back to the codebase after a year of experience building products in JavaScript, React, and CSS (among other things) - I immediately saw multiple places where I could write much cleaner and understandable code.

I felt it was the perfect chance for me to experiment with design, code, and writing.

I (re)designed a few alternatives of the site on Figma and finally decided on this one.

I used Gatsby, which is a development-friendly approach to writing progressive web apps that uses React. I used Styled-Components to organize my CSS. I used Framer-Motion because I wanted to experiment with their very interesting animation API. I used MDX (Markdown with JSX) to write my blog posts.

My hope with this site is to test and share things that interest me.

If you are interested, I have written a more detailed post on what went into making this site.
