IDEA

Blogs capture our thoughts, stories, and insights, preserving them for posterity. They foster self-expression, share knowledge, and forge connections, enriching both writer and reader in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

If you think that this is a typical Blogging Website , then you're absolute right. Why pay a subscription fee on blogging platforms when you can create your own website right?

EXPERIENCE

The fundamental concept behind the website is to create medium.com like experience

Added features: Recommended articles, side navigation for headings, smooth experience over different screen sizes, web accessible colors to reduce strain on users' eyes etc
Engaging journey: This was supposed to be driven by user, like an editor that allows me (admin) to write articles there on the website itself but i ended up using contentful itself for now.
Seamless development: Next.js streamlined the development process and upheld React's fundamental principles, offering valuable insights.

Pixel Papers, is what I named it. It was as if I create online newspapers.
