This is a short post informing the world that my old domain and website, which were under niza.cz, are no longer available. I didn’t really like the domain, and I’ve moved on to nizamiza.link, which I find more cute. I don’t know, it just feels better. It's a Gravatar page and isn't particularly creative, but it serves the purpose of a...

As someone who has been working as a web developer and web designer for more than 5 years, I’ve tried many text editors for work and personal projects.

Thanks to him, I've truly fallen in love with the vanilla CSS and have developed a strong preference to do things CSS-first as much as possible and turn towards JavaScript as the last resort. If you aren't familiar with his channel, you're missing out! Recently, I watched his vide...

So I do web development. Lots of it. Most of it is React and Node.js as you might expect. But when it comes to my personal website, I always do it vanilla. No libraries, no frameworks, no nothing. Just the good old HTML/CSS/JS stack. It's like a fun challenge I give myself every year or so. Try to build a scalable good looking website ...
