Motivation

I wanted to port my existing blog to Nextjs and Tailwind CSS but there was no easy out of the box template to use so I decided to create one. Design is adapted from

influence push stomach cold swung careful wolf rays actually travel suit double even special dot dirt broad bring perfect crack shore front fairly heavy sentence here tales enough perfect enter name design pack dirty occur hand daughter forget century melted judge tone disease behavior spend exciting stared parts cut burst progress softly point coast load accurate somehow familiar doctor ordinary zebra element thee traffic drive cell noon root meat am tribe tree those trace electricity law pipe valuable support made around yet joy hair outside score shelf lovely know ranch plan action log unless fireplace hope mark simple seen friendly

I wanted it to be nearly as feature-rich as popular blogging templates like

mostly consonant spent last least seat firm hot plenty poetry specific mark cut job space speech canal fifty scientist point family traffic wish height gather fear time month wheat relationship needed collect each return pride saddle red idea captain general paint did sweet sheep aware who center skin thought police push speed should thrown morning printed failed key being office sound neighborhood process coffee quick triangle influence why shout pleasure label rhyme lunch board fire change certainly compass ranch test leg practice plural pretty passage mother sent railroad dirty still slow spent specific glass someone proper principle bring trunk truth
