After a long hiatus, root-project.org is back online with a fresh look and a new engine under the hood. The old Jekyll site served me well from 2010 to 2014, but it was time for something more modern.
What changed
- Engine: Moved from Jekyll to Astro — a modern static site generator that’s fast, flexible, and ships zero JavaScript by default.
- Design: Inspired by the clean, card-based layout of sites like codeofhonor.com. Dark mode, multiple colour palettes, and proper typography.
- Structure: Two content types — Longwords (full articles) and Bits (short notes). Both on the homepage, filterable by section.
- Comments: Removed. The old Disqus integration is gone. If you want to discuss something, find me on Twitter or GitHub.
What stayed
All the old posts are still here — including the HLSL crash course, the WPF localization extension, and that one time I wrote about Entity Framework and transactions. They’re a time capsule of my early coding adventures.
What’s next
I’ll be posting again — mostly about code, tools, game dev, and the occasional rant. Stay tuned.
