I really like Next.js, but for my primarily static personal website, it felt like overkill.

Additionally, I faced issues with site load speed, build speed, and the challenges of deploying within my country. I needed a lightweight alternative, so I rebuilt the site using Astro. Perhaps, life is all about the pursuit of improvement.

Gradually, I discovered and grew fond of Next.js, a React-based development framework. This led me to redesign and rebuild the website using Next.js once again.

Unsatisfied with my website and eager to learn React, I decided to redesign it from scratch. This time, I also incorporated TailwindCSS and Framer Motion into the project.

In the blink of an eye, it’s already senior year, and it’s time for internships. While others are working on their portfolios, I decided to create a website! Otherwise, all my learning would be in vain.

This time, I chose Hugo for the tech stack, but I still found an open-source theme and spent a few days putting together a portfolio website. This is also the first version of the Roominess website, marking the beginning of my personal website.

After starting work, I tried to revamp my Roominess project, but I can’t remember why I named it Roominess4.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all courses were moved online. Listening to various classes felt incredibly dull, so I decided to learn something I was actually interested in instead. This was when I started learning about servers, websites, domains, and everything related to them.

Riding the wave of the trend at the time, I dove into various pitfalls while setting up my own blog using Typecho. I even purchased a theme called Handsome. That’s when I wrote my first post, Aria2 下载完毕自动邮件通知, and that’s how it all began.
