What's happening?

Added a page in admin which allows me to run commands on the instance, to build and deploy server generated public pages. So if I modify any data through admin, I can re-build the public pages and deploy them directly from admin.

Migrated this site to next.js and added SSR.

Modified styling for Projects and blogs. Added framer-motion for animations.

Well now that I was happy with this site, I was looking for some ways to attract more users through SEO and turns out that React is bad when it comes to SEO. Bunch of reasons out there on the web. Will take some time before I take the necessary steps to make this site capable of SEO.

Added lazy loading for routes and ended up reducing the cold start time for the home page by 50%. The site now loads within 3s on good network.

This site is now installable as a PWA. In addition, it also supports asset caching through service workers, which will help load the page even without internet. Although, there are bugs which will be fixed in coming days.

Built the updates infra to present a timeline of work I do. The updates will be short descriptions of things I want to keep the visitors posted about, such as cool libraries which I learn about, tech that I'm currently working on, any professional life happenings, etc. I'll limit the length of visible updates to 10. Will probably add filtering based on tags later.
