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.

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.
