Hi there, I'm Paul!
Apparently, if you aren't embarrassed by the first version of your site, you launched too late. So I'm launching this as I build it, and I'm mortified that you're seeing it. Please, avert your eyes.
So this is actually roughly the thirty-seventh version of my personal website. That's not important. This could be the first version that I might actually finish.
It contains virtually nothing, except for my old blog posts, and even those have functionality missing as I've not migrated over a bunch of MDX components.
It does have a stupidly over-engineered grid layout system though, so I can do things like this:
To give you an idea of how much I've not done
Here's a list of things I had on my old Next.js site that I now don't...
- My "Gaming" page, which linked up with APIs like Steam to show my recently played games
- Spotify API integration and embeds
- My Diablo III and Diablo IV characters
- My living Pokedex
- My Destiny reset timer, and Destiny character information
- My annual reviews, with a list of things I've done that year and some stats
- Carrot clicker, my dumb clicker game that breaks half the time
Anyway, it's built with Astro (opens in new tab), which is what I built the version before the version before this with. It's come a long way, I'll probably plan to write a blog post about it at some point, then forget about it.
