I love modern designs, especially the design of Apple products. So I went around and made a lot of elements rounded to give them a nicer look in general. I think it came out great!

This change isn't very noticeable to the end-user, but I've replaced <p> elements with <button> elements wrapped in Next.js <Link> tags. I believe this will allow for more customizability in the future.

I learned about MDX from a YouTube video as a way to write blogs more easily. Since I love Markdown, I thought this would be a great tool to integrate. It seemed like it would be easy to implement as well. According to various sources online, it should be straightforward. The only snag I've hit is that MDX by default wraps my content in a <p> tag, which prevents me from using Markdown headings. I'm sure there's a simple fix for this, but I haven't figured it out yet.

For all the password-protected pages, I have an internal API that handles the authentication. I've significantly improved its security by storing the password in an environment file instead of hardcoding it directly into the password function.

I hope you enjoy the website update! If you have any feedback, feel free to email me at dancrutti@gmail.com.
