Goodbye Wordpress, hello this!

I’ve finally replaced the legacy WordPress setup with a lean, static architecture. I had two goals: (1)do something fun on an IDE, and (2)make my site fast, safe and clean. Here is what is running under the hood now.

The Stack

• Frontend: Eleventy and Tailwind. Compiles entirely to raw HTML, no framework nonsense because none is needed.
• Backend: Vercel serverless functions paired with an Upstash Redis KV store.

UX & Privacy Choices

• Private Interactions: Likes and comments are handled natively via serverless endpoints.
• Text Selection Sharing: Highlighting any text triggers a utility bubble to quickly copy the excerpt as a quote.

I like the result, and hope you do too.
