Hello, world!

Ta-da, here's my new blog! I finally reached a point where I was satisfied with the final product. The entire thing was coded from scratch since I dislike templates.

I built this blog using Next.js, a React framework, which allows for server-side rendering and static site generation, resulting in improved performance and SEO. I'm using it with markdown and Velite to generate static Pages. In other words, it's pretty fast.

Here are some noteworthy features:

  • Integration of giscus, a comment system powered by GitHub discussions
  • Full MDX support for blog posts, offering flexibility and rich content like this one
  • Compatibility with clients that don't support JavaScript (except for giscus)
  • Custom components like Callouts, Tabs, Codeblocks, Disclosures and more
  • Auto generated opengraph images
  • Dark mode 😎

Curious about the inner workings? You can peek under the hood over on GitHub!

So, what's on the horizon? Expect plenty of tech-related content here, with a particular focus on security. This might include write-ups on upcoming events and more. If time permits, I aim to share posts on a biweekly/monthly basis. Stay tuned - I've got some exciting topics in the pipeline!
