Hello World
The first post on this blog. A brief introduction to what this is all about.
Introduction
Welcome to thicchamz. This is the very first post, and it exists mostly to prove that everything works. The stack is simple: Next.js, Tailwind, and plain TSX files for content. No markdown pipeline, no CMS, no unnecessary abstractions.
The goal is a space to write without friction. Each post is just a React component. If I want to add a new one, I create a file, write some HTML, and push. That's it.
Why this approach
Most blog setups involve too much ceremony. Markdown parsers, syntax highlighting plugins, frontmatter schemas, build pipelines for content. All of that is fine for large publications, but for a personal blog it's overhead.
TSX gives full control over the markup. If I want a custom layout for a specific post, I just write it. No fighting with a templating system or working around plugin limitations.
What's next
More posts, whenever something is worth writing about. No schedule, no pressure. Just a quiet corner of the internet.
