Why have this blog?
Because sharing is learning
I started this blog as a way to document and share the things I have learned and found useful in my journey as a software engineer.
Writing and noting things down is a great way for me to solidify my understanding of new concepts and technologies, and I hope that my blog can be a helpful resource for others who are interested in web development, eCommerce, and related technologies.
I would be highly appreciated if you could leave your comments and thoughts on what I have written .
Tech stack
This blog is hosted on Vercel, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS using Tailwind Nextjs Starter Blog.
A huge thanks to Timothy Lin for the minimal, lightweight, and super easy-to-customize blog starter.
A few major over-engineering-changes from the original repo:
- Upgrading to React 18, Next 13
- Adopting Typescript, committing with Conventional Commits
- Monitoring site with Umami, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity website analytics
- Theming in dark mode with Github dark dimmed colors for better contrast
- Making a lot of changes to the UI, new homepage design, adding
ProfileCard,CareerTimelinecomponents, adding/friends,/snippets,/resume(coding...)page, etc. - Bumping up
mdx-bundler,rehype/remarkplugins and dependencies to the latest version
See the repository for this blog.
