Drumroll please ... I have created my own blog 😍 https://www.antidoteblog.com/ A couple of weeks ago, I complained about Paragraph and how it destroyed custom CSS and effectively ownership along with it. I spend quite some time to have the blog fit my taste only for it to be taken away. So I was quite devastated when my blog was pressed back to uniformity. But then I thought: Why not code it from scratch? So I did that with Ghost, Cursor and Vercel. I realise this is nothing special, but here are a couple of details I am proud of: (Also I am very aware that for everything there is likely a 10x better solution but this is the best my 2-neuron-brain can come up with)

1. Design: A LOT of thought went into this. I wanted to create a blog thats fun, different and interesting. Much of the colour palette is inspired by 80s / 90s Sony design and retro video games.

2. The home screen: I wanted a home screen that has an experimental and digital vibe to it AND that looked cool in desktop and mobile view. So I essentially created two interfaces. For desktop you hover over tiles to select them. For mobile you swipe across tiles and click on the expanded one (a riff on coverflow and horrible for Cursor to figure out). The cut off top left corners are supposed to represent SD cards. A sheer nightmare that were created with SVG parts because it was the only way to cut off a corner diagonally and have constant outlines around it.
