New site, New look

03/03/2025

Yeah… I finally got my act together and made a new site.

To be honest, I didn’t even really have a site since my last one was super outdated and reeeally ugly. Plus, since I didn’t know much about Svelte, SSR, SSG, and all those (possibly pointless) web dev buzzwords, the site was a mess.

Anyway, I decided to rebuild it using Astro, now letting me write blogs (if I even bother lol) and, in general, making it look nicer with a functional navbar, multiple pages, and a dedicated place for my projects.

About hosting, I decided to ditch GitHub Pages. Hosting a SPA there was already a hassle, so imagine how complicated it would be with a more robust app like this, with multiple pages and MDX. I moved to Neocities, which, at first glance, seems better. Oh yeah, I’m also using MDX to write these posts instead of good old Markdown.

So far, I’m actually enjoying making this site. I haven’t run into many issues, and designing each page has been awesome. Seeing routes “just work” (something that was tricky with Svelte without Kit) is pretty satisfying—maybe that’s why so many people like Astro.

But yeah, hope I didn’t go off-topic too much and that this
doesn’t sound too confusing.
