Why Vanilla JS and Markdown Rock

In an era of massive component frameworks and complex build pipelines, going back to basics is refreshing.

The Beauty of Vanilla JS

Writing vanilla JavaScript forces you to understand the DOM, asynchronous requests (fetch), and string manipulation without layers of abstraction.

Advantages

  1. Blazing Fast: Loads instantly with zero bloat.
  2. Easy to Maintain: No node_modules hell or broken package locks.
  3. True Ownership: Every line of code is yours.

Combine this with Markdown files for content, and you have a resilient, portable blogging platform that can be hosted anywhere for free!
