- Context: Self-initiated digital magazine, live at metaxis.digital. Active newsletter and contributor community. It’s the project where I get to be the whole stack at once —product owner, designer, developer, and editor.
On the engineering side, I designed the core architecture to be open-source so anyone can contribute, and later migrated the whole platform from Gatsby to Next.js—a deliberate move for better performance, a healthier rendering model, and a stack I could keep building on long-term rather than fight against.
But the part I’m proudest of isn’t the framework: it’s that the project grew a real audience. metaxis.digital runs an active newsletter with a steady subscriber base and a community of contributors and readers around it. Building something people choose to subscribe to —and come back to— is a different discipline from shipping a site, and this is where I learned it: turning an idea into a product with genuine pull.
