colinta.com // Svelte static site

I had an idea for a redesign of my site, inspired by the TeaUI framework. I wanted TUI look and feel, but using HTML primitives. I lucked into a random encounter with Alexunder Hess, who saw my vision and delivered something even better. I can't recommend his services enough. ❤️

I used to use plywood and StrangeCase for my personal site, but for this project I wanted to try something new. My usual stack is React / React Native, but Svelte has piqued my attention for a while now.

There's lots of good things to say about it, top of the list is the dev experience in creating a new project. Well done!

However, I was stymied a few times by the way that signals/runes work. I don't think there's a solve for this, per se, but I was hoping for less surprises – not more – than when I got started in React.

The search for the perfect framework continues...
