Pieces of the puzzle behind this little website

What makes this site run

This site came together thanks to tools I love using.

Main Stack

  • SvelteKit – The framework that made me fall in love with frontend again. It’s fast, simple, and just feels right.
  • Tailwind CSS – No more wrestling with CSS. Tailwind helps me style things exactly the way I imagine.
  • Bun – I switched to Bun and never looked back. It’s fast, smooth, and handles everything I throw at it.
  • Cloudflare Workers – Running things at the edge without the headaches. My go-to for speed and global reach.
  • Neon – Postgres that scales with me. Branching + serverless = freedom to experiment anytime.

Honorable Mentions

  • Bits UI – Headless components that actually feel fun to use. Makes building UI in Svelte a dream.
  • Better Auth – Auth is always a pain... except when I use this. Type-safe, simple, and stress-free.
  • @iconify/svelte – All the icons I could ever want, wrapped up in one lovely little Svelte package.
  • Giscus – Letting people leave comments and reactions on my articles, without building a system from scratch.
  • Fontsource – My favorite way to load fonts—reliable, flexible, and works with whatever setup I’m using.

Visual & UI Resources

  • Freepik – Cat Pattern – This adorable cat pattern lives on my homepage. It’s cute, cozy, and totally free.
  • Unsplash – I use this to grab beautiful, free images for my article thumbnails. It never lets me down.
