Why I Rebuilt a Personal Website
A space outside social platforms for work, thoughts, and fragments of life.
The internet is more convenient than ever, but the things we leave behind are also more scattered. Projects live on GitHub, photos sit in albums, and passing thoughts drift across different platforms.
A Space of My Own
A personal website does not need constant updates, and it does not need to carry a growth target. It is more like a long-lived room: something I can adjust slowly until it starts to feel like myself.
For this version, I wanted it to do at least three things well:
- Clearly introduce the products I am building.
- Preserve writing that is worth thinking about again.
- Keep a few everyday moments from the camera.
Publish First, Refine Later
The first version does not need a complex backend, comments, or elaborate animation. Complete content, comfortable reading, and easy maintenance matter more than the number of features.
