Long Addition is both an experiement in blog design and my own creative writing. Loved the layout and decided to forego a CMS and Markdown. This proved to be very cumbersome and a massive barrier to getting writing up. I plan on revamping it with a simpler Markdown in early 2024.
Tech wise, I learned a ton about routing, asset management with Cloudinary, and adding my own twist (the 3D popping effect) with 2D resources.
- Next.js v13.4.1

- When pressing Copy Link at the bottom of an article, React Rewards triggers a confetti explosion that shifts the screen down if you try to scroll at the same time
