Website

Tech Stack

This blog is hosted on Vercel, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS using Tailwind Nextjs Starter Blog.

This blog site takes inspiration from lehuynh.dev. I appreciate Leo Huynh and Timothy Lin for their contribution to this minimal, lightweight, and highly customizable blog starter.

A few major over-engineering-changes from the original repo:

• ⚛️ Upgrading to React 19, NextJS 16
• 🎉 Adopting Typescript, committing with Conventional Commits
• 👀 Theming in dark mode with Tokyonight Neovim Theme colors for better contrast.
• 👨‍💻 My website refers to the design and code from the lehuynh.dev repository and incorporates the tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog template, version 1.0.
• 📥 Bumping up mdx-bundler, rehype/remark plugins and dependencies to the latest version
