What is smoores.dev?

Recently, as I decided to reinvest in the contents of my personal blog, I also decided to rebuild it. Previously, it had been built as a very simple Flask app, with posts written in Jinja-templated HTML, and relied on the PyPI package Frozen-Flask to export the contents to static assets for deployment. This setup always required a bit more effort than I liked, but I really enjoyed the freedom that came with writing my posts as essentially plain HTML. So I gave my blogging system another shot, this time relying on React Server Components and Next.js to build out a system that was hopefully more fun to work on and easier to maintain.
