Introducing My New Website

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my brand-new website, built from the ground up with modern web technology including Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and the power of Markdown and MDX. Whether you're here to read my writing, explore projects, or connect for collaboration, this site is designed to offer a seamless, fast, and user-friendly experience.
Why a New Site?
The old site was functional—but it lacked performance, personality, and scalability. I needed something lightweight, responsive, and easy to update. The new stack lets me write content like code, use React components in posts, and deliver a blazing-fast experience for both mobile and desktop users.
Key Features
Here’s what makes this site special:
- 🚀 Lightning-fast load times using optimized static rendering
- 🎨 Custom design powered by Tailwind CSS, with light/dark themes
- 🧠 Smart content structure with tag pages, nested routes, and a powerful TOC
- ✍️ Write in MDX for expressive blog posts with embedded components
- 🔎 SEO & metadata support for better discoverability
- 🛠️ Deployed on Vercel for continuous integration and world-class performance
- 💬 Commenting via Giscus and newsletter signup options
