## TECH STACK

This blog migrated some content from the old blog, and the UI was completely torn down and rebuilt.
The old blog used Vue3, and now I switched to Next.js as a full-stack framework.
Also, as a personal project, it inevitably has many flaws, please bear with me.
This project uses a lot of trendy things, such as bun, switched to oxlint instead of eslint,
switched to oxfmt instead of prettier, all because of the unconditional trust in Evan You.

## BLOG CONTENT STRUCTURE

As a personal project, there are many easter eggs hidden inside. I don't know if you can find them,
and I don't know if you like this style:

a) Blog       — Some longer, organized texts. Currently migrating content from the old blog.
                Supports Markdown and Html, with comments and TOC.
b) Guestbook  — An asynchronous chat board. You can send me whispers, I will reply, and there
                are email notifications.
c) Shorts     — Fragmented thoughts that aren't suited for a full blog post, treated as my
                personal tree hole.
d) Photos     — Freeze-frames of many memories.
e) Novel      — Adaptations from life materials, thoughts and reflections, both long and short
                stories, if I ever write them of course.
f) Mrs. Zhao  — A magical section.
g) Terminal   — There are many hidden features inside, try to explore it.
h) Admin      — My real backend, mainly for blog content management, and of course only I can access it.

I will try my best to update and enrich the content of this site in the future.

## ARCHITECTURE DESIGN

Adopts a unified frontend and backend architecture, Next.js App Router implements full-stack
development with a single codebase, handling all routing. Every page goes through [locale]
dynamic routes for Chinese/English switching. The admin panel has a mysterious CMS.
Contains 9 data models, 24 API endpoints, and 44 components.
Used a lot of Three.js and some other animation libraries, heavily modified some previously
collected components, many of which were not React-based, and refactored them with React.
If you feel it's laggy, it's not your device's poor performance, it's my poor skills and lack
of optimization.

## DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE

2025+    Continued to talk about refactoring, actually did nothing
2026.1-2 Thinking and conceptualizing phase, flipped through many previously collected good
         UI designs, ready to start
2026.3   Officially started, tore down and rebuilt

## AFTERWORD

I was job hunting when I wrote this site. Why do this when time is so tight? On one hand,
this has always been my wish, just like my own child, I hope it can land healthily. On the
other hand, during the production process, I admit that I showed off my skills in some places,
intending to make the projects on my resume look more advanced, a bit flashy but lacking
substance. But compared to the initial lack of both, at least it's a bit more flashy now.
I also want to thank a teacher starting with C and a teacher starting with Ge. Without their
great help, I couldn't have finished it so quickly. However, the two teachers also made me feel
that the workplace needs me less and less. During the process, Mrs. Zhao called me and asked
if things at school were going smoothly. Sometimes I really feel like I've been pushed from behind,
suddenly having to face society. I've been really anxious these days, no, I should say I'm
getting more and more anxious, frequently reversing day and night and unable to sleep.
Mrs. Zhao still advised me to go back and take the civil service exam. Looking at the decision
I refused before, I regret it a bit in my heart, but there's nothing I can do. Since I'm here,
I might as well settle down. Maybe only by pushing myself to a dead end can I really fight for it.
I'm so anxious :(

Thank you for reading this far, my friend! Come leave me a message if you have anything to say :)
