I decided to open source my entire blog. I plan to write a blog post detailing why I came to this decision, but for now, you can read, fork, and contribute to my blog through the repository.

This was the website that sparked my love for building and creating, using Next.js as a tool. I created this minimal and responsive blog with Next.js, MDX, TailwindCSS, and Shadcn’s UI components. The blog has a custom made comment system, a place where people can write an entry with customisation, and MDX support.

I learned so much by making this blog. This place was a way for me to tinker and try different stuff. While everything wasn’t perfect , I did my best to fix any breaking bugs and make the website gorgeous. I also hope to improve the website further.

I’ve added another feature: collapsing parentheses, as there shouldn’t be important information in them, and only if someone wants to learn more about or wants to get some more context, they should click on the parantheses, like this:

After some general UI and design improvements, such as the home page with the grid of posts and the hover effect on the titles, and some caching optimisations , I can say that I am proud of this blog even with all of the fallbacks it had.
