• NextJS - I love the developer experience, speed, and built-in Typescript support.
• TailwindCSS - Tailwind's utility-first CSS approach suits me perfectly—its sensible defaults help me to avoid a lot of pitfalls as someone who greatly prefers coding to visual design!
• react-rough-notation - used for JS animations on the home page.
• Contentlayer - Content SDK that validates and transforms blog post content in Markdown into type-safe JSON data.
