It’s been about a decade since I’d relaunched this site on Jekyll, and the poor thing needed a visual refresh. The site was too text heavy, and the CSS was hacky and forced.
I just rewrote tgifunk.com and kept up the momentum to redesign mattspitz.me. I’m still not a web developer, but I like to think that the code and the design are much cleaner than they were.
Bootstrap v5 has a lot more utilities that make it easier to do the right thing once you know the right incantations. Unfortunately, one still needs to sift through the misery of web-developer StackOverflow for these incantations – I didn’t have a better experience asking ChatGPT for help.
Rest assured, ClippyJS is here to stay and is a bit more active with its boredom in the corner of the index page.
Enjoy the new layout, and as always, please share your feedback!
