Hello, this is my corner of the internet

Hi đź‘‹

This is the first post on this website.

I have wanted to create a personal space and share things consistently for a long time, but I kept postponing it, telling myself I wasn't ready. In the end, I decided to stop waiting.

Why a personal website?

Platforms like Medium and Dev.to are great, but writing in your own space feels different. From design to content, everything belongs to you.

Another reason is that I want to build an archive I can look back on over time. I want to keep track of what I learn, what I struggle with, and how I solve things.

What will I write about here?

I don't want to promise an overly ambitious publishing schedule, but I do want to write as consistently as I can. I will mainly focus on:

  • Real-world problems I face with Next.js / React
  • Frontend performance and user experience
  • Small but effective practices that make coding easier
  • Technical and product-oriented notes from my day-to-day work

What did I use on the technical side?

I wanted to start with a simple and fast setup:

  • Next.js 15 (App Router)
  • Tailwind CSS
  • MDX (to write posts quickly and comfortably)

I chose MDX for blog content because it keeps the comfort of Markdown while still allowing JSX when needed.

Closing thoughts

Thanks for reading this far.

This first post is more of a quick “hello” message. In the next posts, I'll share more technical and detailed content.
