Why I built rjemerson.com with Next.js 15, MDX, and Cloudflare Workers — and what I learned along the way.

Building in Public: My Personal Site
Welcome to my corner of the internet. This is where I write about AI software development, share projects I'm working on, and occasionally post something personal.
The Tech Stack
This site is built with:
- Next.js 15 with the App Router and React Server Components
- MDX for blog content with full React component support
- Tailwind CSS v4 with a custom dark theme
- Cloudflare Workers via OpenNext for edge deployment
Why This Stack?
I wanted something that felt fast, looked clean, and let me write blog posts with the full power of React components inline.
// Example: a simple greeting component
function Greeting({ name }: { name: string }) {
return <p>Hello, {name}!</p>;
}What's Next
I'll be writing about AI-assisted development, the tools I use, and the projects I'm building. Stay tuned.
