v5

For the version 5 of my website, I decided to go back to the Jamstack architectural style of versions 2 and 3 but keeping React and JavaScript as the core technologies.

I choose NextJS as a static site generator and React framework. I was curious about modern react frameworks so I decided to get some experience with them. The same happened with TailwindCSS. The design was a bit old so I took the opportunity to do a complete re-design and learn about utility-first CSS frameworks.

One of the goals of this version was to build a site that allowed me to go back to blogging. I wanted a workflow that allowed me to quickly create blog posts or notes and share them on the site. I migrate the content to Markdown so I can write and edit the content in minimalist tools like Obsidian and easily copy and paste it into the codebase.

I also change the infrastructure. From GitHub Pages to Vercel. I was quite impressed by the developer experience of Vercel as a platform. I really recommend to give a try to anyone looking for a simple hosting solution.
