I’ve finally sat down to write my first post.
To be honest, I’ve been planning this personal site for a long time — links, projects, things I wanted to showcase — but it always stayed at “I’ll do it when I have time.” That changed when I came across Mizuki, an Astro-based site framework that made the whole thing feel actually doable.
Why this kind of framework
What I wanted wasn’t just a blog template that works out of the box. I wanted:
- A solid theme and page structure so I don’t have to design everything from scratch
- Enough flexibility to customize layouts, components, and styling
- The freedom to edit the code directly when needed, instead of being locked into a platform
Mizuki sits right in that sweet spot. Anime tracking, diary, albums, projects, skills, timeline — many of the pages a personal site needs are already there. At the same time, it’s still your own codebase. Want a new feature or a small tweak? Open the editor and change it. For me, that beats both bare-bones templates and heavy CMS setups.
So the site I’d been putting off for ages finally has a version you can actually visit.
What’s on the site for now
For now, I’ve added some basics to get things standing:
- About — a short intro
- Projects / Skills / Timeline — filled in with what I could recall from GitHub and my background
Projects and tech stacks are hard to list completely in one sitting. A lot of entries will be revised later. A rough draft still beats a blank page.
What’s coming next
I plan to add more over time:
- Anime — watchlist and tracking
- Diary — casual notes and moments
- Albums — photos and galleries
Other pages and content will follow as needed. No rush to get everything perfect on day one.
Closing thoughts
This site will probably change many times — content, layout, maybe a few features only I find fun. But at least it’s moved from “I want to build this” to “it’s live.”
If you’ve been procrastinating on a personal site too, maybe try this: ship a 60% version first, then polish it toward 90%.
I’ll keep writing here as things evolve.
