The Blog and Web Archive of Dr. Ankit Upadhyay
Hello , I'm Dr. Ankit Upadhyay and this is the cover page of my blog which I have designed using tufte css and tailwind css
I write very often about technical stuff, Explaining some medical procedures or algorithms, art, code and some personal rants.
This blog is my second attempt to keep a personal archive. Previous blog was on wordpress and due to some server changes, it got deleted. After a few days I get to know that the backup I took was also deleted. So, I had no choice but to start a new one.
I started looking for the wordpress servers to buy and I kept procrastinating on it. After a few weeks, I thought that I should make one from scratch.
Now, the problem was to choose tech stack for this blog. I wanted an easier way to write blog posts with easier handling of images and media. Wordpress was not in the option. I picked nextjs, tailwind css, tufte css and chose markdown for blog posts. I chose makdown because It would be a lot easier to keep markdown files on my local computer and I can start a new blog everytime if this one also got damaged.
I am now building it gradually and adding custom features like bottom bar, blog article pdf download and so on.
Since, I am coding the pages manually, I can edit anything and add any kind of feature within the blog. I have to add some more features like themes, social feed or timeline, art showcase, photography showcase etc.
Looking forward for this new blog project, I might release a template to make a blog like this for yourself. I am using NextJS 14+, Tailwind CSS, Tufte CSS for this project.
