# Hello, world — this site

*Published 2025-01-09 · Anurag Dhungana*

## Welcome to my Web

I've wanted a space that feels simple, fast, and mine. Not a landing page with a thousand widgets, just a quiet corner where I can drop projects, ideas, and things I'm learning.

## Inspirations

- [Hayden Bleasel](https://www.haydenbleasel.com/)
- [Sumit Kumar](https://www.sumit.ml/)
- [Anthony Fu](https://antfu.me/)
- [Ahmet Dedeler](https://ahmetdedeler.com/)
- [Ryo Lu](https://os.ryo.lu/)

## What Makes It Different

I think of work in small, sharp loops: build → ship → learn. I don't want a content pipeline that slows me down. Files in a folder are enough.

The site follows a minimal, monochrome aesthetic with subtle animations and motion design. It respects `prefers-reduced-motion` and stays fast with static generation where possible.

## Living Documents

I've added pages that evolve over time:
- **/now** - What I'm focused on right now, with reading goals and activity tracking
- **/uses** - Tools and gear I use daily
- **/photography** - Photo galleries with an advanced lightbox
- **/projects** - Things I've built, with live GitHub and coding activity

The site itself is a project - constantly iterating on the design and adding features. If you're curious about anything specific, ping me. Otherwise, I'll keep dropping pieces here until a bigger picture forms.

## The Stack

- Next.js 14 with App Router
- Tailwind CSS v4 with custom motion tokens
- MDX for content
- shadcn/ui components
