A year after creating my blog and barely keeping it alive, I finally gave it the attention it deserved. What started as a simple theme change turned into a full redesign with new features, a new workflow, and a renewed excitement to actually write. Here's what changed, what I built, and why I'm genuinely happy with where it ended up.

Proxima.ai is a minimalistic live AI chat web app built with Next.js and Google Gemini API. It reflects my journey of overcoming perfectionism, using AI to speed up UI development, and focusing on shipping small, functional projects rather than chasing perfection. Future updates will include adding more models and fixing production streaming issues.

In this post, I share how I built my personal blog sithira.me using the Tailwind Next.js Starter Blog template. I cover the reasons behind building it, the tech stack I used, my writing workflow, and my future plans for the blog.
