I'm close sourcing the website, now completely.

As you might remember, the contents of the post clearly said that this was temporary. While i firstly wanted it to be so, i soon realised that close-sourcing the site has it's advantages. So, after some thinking, I came to the conclusion to close source the website completely.

Let me explain

I love open source. Seriously. I love seeing cool features on other sites and then how the feature is implemented. There's just a problem for me with doing same for my site, and It's not associated with stealing.
I store all of my posts along with the website source code. And, as I now try to write bigger posts, one post may take around a week to a month to write. In the meantime I try to update the website, so pushing the incomplete post into the public is not the best idea. Sure, there are solutions. Contentlayer even supports several, such as:

  • Storing posts in Notion
  • Storing posts in remote git repository And while i could use the second option (don't and never will use notion), you can agree that all of this adds an extra layer of complexity and friction to write posts, which is unwanted for me.

But what if i like how something is done?

As i already said, i love seeing implementation of cool web stuff. I've written my own post about making cool animations. So, if you want to know how something is done, just message me. Chances are, i can send you the part of the code that does it (beware, some of my code might be dirty here, for example, navbar one).
