Revamped personal website
I did a little overhaul of my personal website (code), moving from Flask on Google App Engine to something that feels a little more modern, running Next.js on Google Cloud Run. I have mixed feelings about React and some of that tech Iām running the website on now, feels like overkill for a personal site, but Next.js has really impressed me with its polish and I havenāt managed to find any simpler alternative that doesnāt feel clunky.
Iām doing a little blogging here just to test the waters. I keep getting the itch to blog some thoughts but Blogger (where I used to manage my blog posts) really doesnāt seem to have kept up with the times either. I actually composed this blog post in Markdown using a setup like this. I think I want to set up something like Payload CMS so itās easier to write blog posts (without deploying a new version of the whole site), but Iāll probably still use Markdown files for some of the other site content.
