My new website!

Welcome to my new blog! This is the first post on my freshly built website using SvelteKit 5 and mdsvex for markdown content.

Why SvelteKit?

SvelteKit offers a fantastic developer experience with minimal JavaScript overhead. The combination of:

• Static prerendering for fast page loads
• View transitions for smooth navigation
• mdsvex for writing posts in markdown

Makes it an ideal choice for a personal blog.

Code Highlighting

Here’s an example of syntax highlighting with Shiki:

function greet(name: string): string {
	return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greet('World'));

And some JavaScript:

const thoughts = await getThoughts();
const sorted = thoughts.sort((a, b) => new Date(b.date) - new Date(a.date));

What’s Next

I’ll be writing about web development, software engineering, and whatever else comes to mind. Stay tuned!
