A little redesign of my blog to make it more consistent. It was a migration to Web Components at first, but I got some inspiration to update the look. This blog is now Svelte-less and framework-less. My mantra of high performance, low maintenance continues.
Gone is the realistic looking oven. With your attention at the logo, it is a window of a oven with a delectable cupcake. It is truly my oven.
Never thought I'd go back to a dark background, but with how sleeker and consistent things look it looked natural.
To highlight some of the libraries that enabled me to do this, I added a footer to do that.
I did some page speed tests which resulted in much better scores than with Sapper/Svelte, so I'm more happy about the switch.
I still have work to do for the blog such as pagination, I figure I add it for SEO purposes. I had infinite scroll in an unreleased version, but those are not web crawler friendly. There are backend tasks like closing of my http api in favor of my custom ZMQ RPC library which will shave off a good amount of milliseconds per request. This library is already in use for the next 3 products I will release. 2 of them which are functionally complete and can be released. Eventually, I'd like to migrate the blog to an in memory db rather than MySQL to cut down content requests to 10ms-30ms request time rather than a variable 50ms to 300ms that I get now. Yes, this is all about high performance.
I'm really going at this incrementally, so I can switch off to my other projects and migrations in the meantime.
