since I'm starting my search for fulltime roles I did something I've managed to avoid doing for years now and made a (dundun) personal website also trying to make more things that are sort of... just for me, you know? anyway, idk if any of you have used Astro before (it's sort of similar to Gatsby, if you're familiar with that) but I used it for this and it's pretty neat. near first-class support for turning markdown into pages and querying and sorting collections of markdown. really great if you're building a text-heavy site. plus you can pull in components from your UI framework of choice, like React or Vue. also got to play with a few SVG/CSS animation features I've never had the chance to fully use in a production site would love to get any thoughts the folks here have! i feel like personal sites are sort of becoming more rare (might be just me, though)

wow great site and all the animations and scribble highlights and colors, thats amazing. I wish my stuff looked like that!

thanks @Tom Larkworthy! very nice of you to say

Oh hey! I’ve had a tab open with stark in it for work for like a month now! I should probably get on that!

This is gorgeous.

@Eli Mellen if I can help in any way just lemme know! I did used to work with the CEO, so 🙂

Matt this is great. I love the way the graphics and the tone of the copy are consistent and come off as very genuine. And to answer your question… it is exhausting being such a high achiever ;)

Thanks @Benji Rappoport! I hoped it would come off as genuine. And congrats on actually reading to the bottom. :)
