I’ve been itching write blog posts and share my personal projects again I’ve been thinking of redeploying my last personal website for a while now so that is what I’m doing now!

My previous website was built using Gatsby about 4-5 years ago (very long ago, I know) and I haven’t kept it up to date or ran it since. I searched through the files on my external hard drive and found the code! Unfortunately there were a bunch of dependency issues, outdated dependencies, and breaking changes when I tried running it 🥲 So I’ve decided to rebuild it using Next.js and TailwindCSS.

things to do

  • blog with mdx
  • add projects
  • dark mode
    • look into doing this with tailwind
  • several gradient types instead of just the pink/purple one
  • add link to digital garden
