The main feature of the old site that I didn't want to give up was the ease of pushing and having the site automatically deployed. For some of my projects, I use dedicated hosting tools like Vercel or Netlify, but I wanted to keep my site hosted on GitHub Pages so that other projects already on GitHub could continue to be on the micahlindley.com domain. Thankfully, GitHub Actions provided a great option for me to build the site with Vite in the cloud and host it automagically with Pages. I wrote my own Action to deploy the site and it's worked wonderfully so far.

Version 1 used a single-page layout that's very common among developer portfolios. However, I was struggling to fit more content on the site while retaining fast load times. I gave in and switched to lazy-loaded routes that Vue Router supports. I was originally concerned about the weight that some frameworks and bundlers can cause, but Vite's intelligent bundling enables my site to load so fast that I don't even use a preloader anymore!
