Welcome to My Personal Site

metaintroduction

This is my personal site, built with Next.js and deployed to both Vercel and IPFS.

What You'll Find Here

I use this space to share:

  • Essays: Original thoughts and writings on topics that interest me
  • Articles: Interesting pieces I've read from around the web, with my commentary
  • Books: Recommendations and reviews of books that have shaped my thinking
  • Gallery: Photos and images from various collections

Design Philosophy

The design is intentionally minimal, inspired by Paul Graham's website. The focus is on content and readability, with:

  • A slim, centered layout optimized for reading
  • Georgia serif typography for a classic, press-like feel
  • Off-white background with black text for comfortable reading
  • A collapsible bottom menu that stays out of the way

Technical Details

This site is:

  • Built with Next.js 14 and TypeScript
  • Styled with Tailwind CSS
  • Content managed through markdown files
  • Deployed to Vercel for fast delivery
  • Mirrored on IPFS for decentralized backup

All content is statically generated at build time, ensuring fast load times and excellent SEO.

Example Code Block

Here's a simple JavaScript function:

function greet(name) {
  return 'Hello, ' + name + '!'
}
 
console.log(greet('World'))

Cross-References

This site supports cross-referencing between content. Essays can reference books, articles can reference essays, and everything is connected through simple slug-based links.
