Site update

It’s been a while since I last posted a changelog for this website. So it’s time to recap what have changed since then.

Browsers to remove XSLT support

Two years ago I added a simple XSL transformation to prettify RSS feed as it is shown when opened by a direct link. The support for this (massively outdated) technology is going to be removed soon. Funny, that this specific use case is mentioned in the deprecation announcement. Looks like, I’ll need to add a polyfill to fix that later.

CSS polishing

I keep polishing CSS without changing the looks. I’ve cleaned up the narrow view shown on mobile. But the biggest update is the addition of dark theme.

Initially implemented with JavaScript and manually changing classes, now it uses modern light-dark() CSS function and color-scheme property. Checkout this awesome guide on how to properly use it.

Lists

It appears, I like making lists. Not To-Do lists, although them too, but lists of albums I listen, or series I watch. Or my up-to-date wishlist and bucketlist. All that in addition to long existing lists of books I read and videogames I played.

Social archives

At the end of 2025 I downloaded my data from Instagram and Twitter and vibe coded two static pages with all content I once posted there.

Load speed

I stumbled upon an article “Why your website should be under 14kB in size” some time ago and decided to implement the advice, at least on my homepage. So I removed all unused and auxiliary stuff, and now it hopefully loads a fraction of a second faster.

Was it necessary? Probably not.

Was it fun to chase it down to 14kb? Hell yeah.

And since I already use a static site generator, why not take another small step to improve load times?

Transitions

More and more browsers are supporting navigation transitions now, and I’ve enabled them too. With all optimization efforts, pages now switch seamlessly, and I enjoy navigating on my site.

That’s it

That’s all I could remember I’ve updated here recently. Again, I’m CEO, Product Manager, Head of Design, and Lead Software Engineer for my homepage, so I can do whatever I want here. And I enjoy it!
