Big Redesign Energy
🦋 and a Bluesky starter pack
Happy Monday, and Happy Thanksgiving to all those who partake!
I had a few days off work for the holidays and thought, you know what would be fun for some reason? Redesigning my whole website. So that’s what I did.
Redesign
I invite you to check out Redesign: Version 7.0. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I recently discovered the new color-scheme property in CSS, which makes light/dark theming a breeze.
I also added sidebars to make it easier to explore topics, see my favorite posts throughout the years, view a table of contents per post, view post comments, and more. I also wanted it to be very responsive and mobile-friendly.
Content
There’s a decade worth of articles, guides, tutorials, and musings across this site that I’d love to expose better.
For example:
The Event Loop - a deep dive into the stack, queue, tasks, and how promises work behind the scenes.
The CSS Guidebook - a deep dive into CSS fundamentals that I wrote due to a request from one of my fellow coworkers.
macOS Setup for FE devs - the article I use every time I need to set up a new MacBook for work or personal.
The Lore of Animorphs - a long manifesto about Animorphs for some reason. I want to write more non-dev musings, and here’s a fun one.
Bluesky
As you may already be aware, devs are switching from Twitter to Bluesky. I haven’t really posted on Twitter for a long time, so I’m excited to switch over and hopefully have more fun, natural interactions like back in the day.
I made a starter pack, which is a curated list of users on the site that you can sub to all at once. I just picked a few fellow devs who have interesting blogs and websites. It’s a pretty small list at the moment but I plan to update it as I go.
Anyway, feel free to reach out and connect over there, or respond to this email. I’ve been pretty AFK from the online world for a while, but lately I’ve felt a bit more inspired to connect and write again.
Hope y’all have a good week!
