Site Reboot 🔄 — Shadcn, Tailwind & Next.js

#website#nextjs#shadcn#tailwind#githubpages

I’ve always wanted a little online corner of my own. Over the years I spun up more prototypes than I can count, yet none ever made it past my local machine—until I discovered Material-UI. With MUI I finally pushed a simple site to GitHub Pages, but updates stalled and that version went stale.

Fast-forward to today’s spark: Shadcn, Tailwind CSS, and Next.js.
The trio felt modern, and—thanks to utility classes—remarkably fast to iterate on. Most of the scaffolding, component wiring, and even some copy came straight from ChatGPT sessions . After a few late-night works, the fresh build is live.

I’m treating this launch as a minimum lovable product. There’s plenty left to polish—accessibility tweaks, LCP optimizations, slicker animations—but shipping beats perfect. I’ll document the exact workflow (prompt engineering + code snippets) in a follow-up post.

Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to the rebooted site!
