It’s finally here!
My website has made a comeback after more than 12 years of absence. Is there any timing better than April Fools’ Day to announce a comeback?
I’ve been working on this for a while now and I’m super excited to bring it back to life today.
Where it all started
The old website from 2012
- I just found out that I made the previous version in WordPress… I can’t even remember using WordPress for that long.
- The main focus was blogging, but I ended up writing only 3 articles. I did manage to get my posts published on a webdesign blog from some other guy though. I sold my posts for $15 each. Those were the days.
Picking up where I left off, with a new website
- Brand new design, built from scratch, with a focus on simplicity, typography and performance.
- Using Astro as a static site generator, which is a joy to work with.
- Hosted on Vercel, which is a great service for static sites.
- Using Markdown for writing my
blog postsnotes, which makes me focus on writing instead of fiddling with a CMS. - I’ve come to appreciate the concept of digital gardening, a term coined by Maggie Appleton. I’m going to use this website as a place to grow my thoughts and ideas.
