My New Site

If you’re reading this, you are already on my new site. I’d have a quick look around and see what sort of things I have done with it.

Svelte

I chose to use Svelte which, was recently picked up by Vercel, my reasons for choosing it was how well svelte it is, the files are sleek with your styles, scripts and, template all living within a .svelte file which makes for incredibly streamlined components that are quick to manage.

A benefit of Svelte is that it compiles down to HTML, CSS, and JS during the build step, which means there is no client-side rendering, resulting in an incredibly performant app-like feeling on all websites.

Tailwind CSS

I learned about Tailwind a few years back. I chose it due to the simple theming within the tailwind.config.js file. I also enjoy how quickly you can prototype new components. Despite some people claiming that it results in messy code, I found the development speed worthwhile.

Markdown

Thanks to the lovely mdsvex package, writing posts and project pages within Markdown is dreamlike. Those familiar with Markdown know how convenient it is to write with, mdsvex takes minimal setup, it also allows custom layouts nested within your main page.
