Rebooting t128n.github.io
A fresh start for my personal website and blog. Learn about blog and web-development on t128n.
For years, I wrestled with the direction of my personal website. I wanted a space to share ideas, projects and insights—without losing sight of simplicity. Early on, I built micro-apps and experimented with different architectures. But over time, the site drifted from its original intent: a focused, minimal platform for my work and writing.
This reboot is a return to clarity. I’m doubling down on what matters: content, authenticity and a site that reflects how I work best. The tools I use should empower, not distract.
What Changed?
Astro stays. Astro remains my static site generator of choice. It matches my workflow and lets me focus on what matters—content and performance—without unnecessary JavaScript bloat.
TailwindCSS is out. I’m a fan of TailwindCSS and use it for most projects, but here it’s overkill. For a minimal, content-driven blog, semantic HTML wins. No utility classes, just clean markup.
Micro-apps are gone. Building them was fun, but they no longer fit the vision. As part of this reboot, I’ve removed the micro-apps and trimmed away legacy features to keep the site focused and fast. If you landed here from an old /apps link, those tools are no longer hosted here. Sorry for the inconvenience! This site is now about writing, sharing ideas and highlighting projects—without the overhead of embedded applications. Simplicity and focus come first.
CV? Not really. If you’re an employer curious enough to visit my site, you’ll find more value in the personal, story-driven /about page than a formal CV.
Letting go is tough—but essential. The result? A faster, leaner and more purposeful site. Content comes first. That’s the new standard.
