Preface
This is my first post.
I’ve always wanted a writing space of my own. Not the fragmented expressions on social media, but a place where I can quietly develop a thought to its fullest.
Why Not Use Existing Platforms
WeChat Official Accounts, Zhihu, Medium — these platforms are all great, but they have a few issues:
- Your content doesn’t belong to you: Platforms can change rules at any time, or even delete your content
- Limited formatting: It’s hard to embed custom charts or interactive components
- Not portable: When you want to switch platforms, your historical content is difficult to take with you
What I Want
A minimalist, content-first writing space:
White background, black text, centered layout, comfortable line spacing.
Just like what you’re looking at right now.
No flashy animations, no pop-up ads, no recommendation algorithms. Just words.
Technical Implementation
This site is built with Astro, content is written in Markdown, and it’s deployed on Vercel. All articles are plain text files managed with Git.
This means:
- I always own my content — it’s just a bunch of
.mdfiles - I can write in any editor — VS Code, Obsidian, even Notepad
- I can migrate anytime — Markdown is a universal format
What’s Next
I’ll be recording technical thoughts, project retrospectives, and some essays here.
Updates won’t be very frequent, but every piece will be written with care.
