Welcome!

So, on my old site that I built using SvelteKit, I used to call the Hashnode API to get my blogs and display them on my site. However, it seemed like Hashnode’s CDN caching of blogs was not getting updated when I published a new blog or updated existing ones.

So, I decided to build a new blog site using Astro. I had used Astro before on a very old portfolio (one of my firsts). So, this was a fun homecoming.

First, MDX is amazing. I really missed that with the Hashnode API. Secondly, editing MDX files right in my IDE is a plus.

Over the next few days, I’ll be migrating my old blogs and also writing some new ones.

Now, let’s talk about the portfolio itself. This is my first frontend project deployed on Railway. I am a huge fan of the product. And now that they’ve announced their own hardware (Railway Metal), I can’t wait to deploy more projects on it. I would miss SvelteKit and Vercel though but change is good.

Cheers!
