personal website v5

a ton of backend changes to make it play ball with cloudflare workers. switched to drizzle from prisma and debloated next.js a lot (had to explicitly tell it to remove some vercel open graph stuff). it’s pretty clear that i don’t have a “solid stack” yet, but the RR7+hono+workers combo i used for anum seems to have been my best by far. but hey, trying stuff and making conclusions is the scientific method, so here’s hoping i find a good webdev stack that isn’t on the edge of imploding.

all that aside, we’re live on xorydev.xyz (my main domain!). i’ll get back to lana soon enough and wire that up to use hackclub’s api rather than asking for google api keys.

polishing, mobile optimisation and all that fun stuff. tailwind breakpoints got in the way initially by acting all weird, but i eventually got it to work. i can’t really write much because i don’t remember what i did with more detail than the umbrella term that is “polishing stuff”

added a simple blog system based on marked (obviously sanitised) even though i’m the only one making posts. it’s based on marked so i don’t have to handwrite pages and uses the same ol’ cloudflare d1 i’m used to from anum.
also had to do some restructuring so that i could have a different layout from the rest of the website

polished the landing page and navbar a bit. added an “about me” page containing how i got into this whole thing and a basic projects base that i have not filled out yet.

alright, so, i’m taking a quick break from all the lana nonsense because the gemini api is kind of tiring to work with. rest assured, i will get back to that in time and adjust that project accordingly.
in the meantime, i’ve started work on a newer version of my personal website (current one is https://xorydev.xyz). right now i’ve just refined the landing page.
for this project i decided to go with next.js and cloudflare workers, since i’ve had good experiences with that from anum (past non-hackclub project), it’ll be fast and it won’t be dependent on my own hosting which is… volatile, to say the least.
