My First Post

Welcome to My Blog

This is going to be my thoughts on anything and everything. It's mainly a way of playing with website building.

  • 💻 Building websites
  • 🖖🏽 Star Trek
  • ✈️ Airplanes
  • 🧠 Mental Health
  • 📰 Politics
  • 🎹 Music

I built this website using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and React with View Transitions.

This post itself is written in Markdown.

What I Used to Build This Blog

Here are some of the key ingredients that went into making this blog:

  • Next.js: The framework powering the whole thing. I'm doing this project in several frameworks, and to be honest, I prefer Astro or Nuxt...
  • Markdown: For writing all the content (like this post!). It's so simple and effective.
  • View Transitions: To create those smooth animations when you click between pages. It's a really nice touch! Doing this in React is a bit more difficult than in Astro, but it's still possible.
  • Custom Styling: I've added some personal touches to the design to make it my own.
  • Cursor: Of course, I vibe coded it... All while learning how to do it more myself.
