Coming up: a redesign of 2ality

I’ll soon migrate 2ality to a different hosting solution. This blog post tells you what you need to know.

For readers, not much changes  #

These are the major changes:

• The URLs stay the same, but the domain 2ality.com will become the default, whereas it was www.2ality.com up to now (www will forward to the default).
• The new design is cleaner and simpler and responsive. It should work better on mobile devices. It also provides a stable foundation for future enhancements.
• The RSS feed will continue to be at feeds.feedburner.com/2ality. The switch should go smoothly; in case there are problems, you now know why.

A few more details  #

I’ve been meaning to move away from Blogger for years. I’ve always wanted the site to be statically generated, but the last pieces only fell into place over the last year:

• Using isomorphic React for static site generation significantly simplified my code.
• I’m hosting the site on Amazon S3, because it’s relatively cheap and because I’m familiar with it.

I’m working on a blog post explaining more of the technologies behind the new approach and why I changed things. Stay tuned.
