Hello, world
After years of shipping Chrome extensions and writing on my old blog blog.zbw-zbw.cn, I finally took a weekend to build a proper home on the web: hi.kyriewen.cn.
What lives here
- Products — Every Chrome extension and web app I keep iterating on.
- Writing — Technical notes, indie-hacking reflections, both in English and 中文.
- Now — What I am focused on right now, not what I did last year.
- Stats — Build-in-public numbers: GitHub stars, Chrome users, subscribers.
- Guestbook — Leave a note, say hi.
Why bother?
Your website is the one piece of real estate you fully own on the internet.
Social networks come and go. Twitter rebrands, Medium paywalls, RSS dies and comes back. But a simple Next.js site on a domain I pay $10/year for? That is mine.
What is next
Writing more. Shipping more. Making the stats dashboard embarrassingly honest.
