Creating my blog with Next.js
- 2 mins - tags: personal

After thinking about this for a while this summer, I've decided to create a blog (with Next.js), so welcome!

pub fn main(){
    println!("hello world!");
}

How was this made?

Using Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind hosted on Cloudflare Pages - where I worked at! (I'll discuss more in another blog post). This is my first time using Next.js, TypeScript & Tailwind, but it's been extremely easy to use and I've really enjoyed it! Tailwind is sooo much better than regular CSS. Using remark and Prism to render markdown and code. Check out the source code if you'd like here: Github

What are my plans with this?

Hopefully mostly talking about random fields in CS(ML, App-Dev, Game-Dev, maybe PL) and sometimes about my life/experiences.

Inspirations (for blog / design)

  • Lil'Log, colah & Mukul Rathi - These blogs definitely were key factors in creating mine, (I also stole Lil'Logs background colour...)
  • Euan - I took the idea of the backspacing text describing yourself (the text underneath my username) from this website of a good friend.
  • Terminal - Someone once showed me this website and I thought the terminal was a neat idea; check out my version at My terminal
  • whenderson - His clean design is definitely something I tried to emulate, though his is way nicer than mine!

Conclusion

That's all for this short post, I'll be writing a lot more, so I'll see you in the next!
