Overreacted.io
This project is a personal blog and developer content site designed for publishing software engineering insights and technical articles. It is implemented as a static site that utilizes React to pre-render content into HTML files.
The site functions as a markdown-based content platform, transforming plain text markdown files into formatted web pages. It employs client-side hydration to attach interactive JavaScript logic to the pre-rendered HTML, enabling dynamic behavior and single-page application routing without full page reloads.
The technical surface includes a component-based architecture and a build-time content pipeline to manage and deliver technical writing and code snippets. Visual styles are managed through a styling approach that links component logic directly to the site appearance.
