Building in Public: My Personal Site

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.
