You might be wondering why I put myself through this instead of using popular solutions like WordPress or Wix to create this website. In my first blog post, I already mentioned that I like to dig deep into things – or in this case, applications.

With my basic knowledge and understanding of code, I can get quite far, especially with assistance from ChatGPT or Claude. But then there are moments when I get stuck, going in circles because I don’t fully understand how different pieces of code interact across various files.

A current example is the Dark Mode feature I wanted to implement to make the website look fancier. Since the blog section loads dynamically and has its own conditions on the homepage, the Dark Mode button simply refuses to work properly.

Well, I’ll eventually figure it out, and I love those “aha” moments when I finally understand how to solve a challenge. So, stay tuned for an update once I get it working!
