A personal link hub and devlog — the site you're looking at right now.

The site you're reading this on. A small, personal corner of the internet — somewhere to point people instead of a dozen separate profiles, and a running log of whatever I'm building at the moment.

Why it exists

The old razerghost.xyz was a static portfolio; that content moved to rg-digital.dev, which left room for something smaller and more personal here. No client work, no case studies — just links, notes, and status.

How it's built

SvelteKit (Svelte 5) with Tailwind CSS 4, running as a real Node server (adapter-node) in Docker behind Coolify and Traefik — not a static export. Devlog and project posts alike are plain markdown files with frontmatter, read straight off disk on every request. No CMS, no database, no build step for content: push a .md file, redeploy, done.

Posts can also embed real, interactive Svelte components inline — a live counter, a typed-terminal animation, a before/after image slider — mounted client-side wherever a post drops in <div data-embed="Name">.

A few widgets (Spotify now-playing, Discord presence, live GitHub activity) pull from external APIs and degrade gracefully — they just quietly disappear or show a fallback state if their env vars or accounts aren't set up, rather than breaking the page.

There's also a small private area behind GitHub login: /notes for a personal notes graph — search, tags, folders, saved views — and /admin for the actual site-editing tools, a dashboard of markdown editors for the devlog and this projects page, a status editor for the homepage's "Right now" card, and a Simkl cache inspector. Posts get drafted and previewed against a real dev server before being committed and pushed.

What's here

  • Devlog — build logs, before/afters, TILs, whatever's worth writing down
  • The homepage itself carries what I'm currently up to, plus live Discord/GitHub signal — no separate status page needed
  • Gear — the hardware and software I actually use, searchable and filterable by category
  • Watchlist — what I'm watching, backed by Simkl with a cached fallback so it stays up even if Simkl's API doesn't
  • Listens — full listening history built from Spotify's own data export (not just the last-50 the live API exposes), searchable as an interactive card grid, kept current between exports by a scheduled scrobble poller
  • This projects page — the same content model as the devlog, for things worth a proper writeup instead of just a card
