I’ve been wanting to create a personal blog for a while, a place to share what I’ve learned, what I’m building, and random notes that might help someone (or future me). Today, I finally took the first step and set it up!

I wanted something minimal and fast, mainly to publish text and a few images. My first thought was to build it using plain HTML and JavaScript, and host it on GitHub Pages to kickstart. But as I started digging in, I discovered some better tools that made the process smoother and more flexible and fun.
