It dramatically reduces readability for me. Not a fan, even though it might look “nice”. (As viewed on an iPhone)
I thought I was the only one considering the praise it's getting throughout the thread and others saying that they didn't even notice it until it was pointed out in the article. I had to reduce the opacity by at least half for it to not be so distracting. Perhaps the noise doesn't "scale" on mobile as I'm also viewing it on an iPhone and/or is just more apparent in dark mode.
I've just deployed a change to the noise as I saw a screenshot from another user and it looked like an iPhone bug! The noise shouldn't even be noticeable.
Is it looking better now?

#93I like Next.js and have used it for a few projects. However, my previous two blog iterations (yes, I remake my blog as often as writing blog post) with Next.js (page router) were less than ideal. Even with full static generation, Next.js still makes your site a React application. A page might be pre-rendered completely on the server, but Next will still ship JS to the client for hydrating ... zero dynamic content. He…
How much JS is being shipped in that case though, and if it’s loaded async and not being used would it ever even impact page paint time?

My timing was perfect, saw the site, saw the noise bug, read the comments, checked again and it’s fixed (on iPhone at least)

On iPhone, it's more than just the grey background that gets the noise.
The noise is being applied to everything on the screen (like buttons, sliders, etc).
It might be more readable if the noise was only on the background grey.
Just my 2 cents.

Wordpress is incredibly complex when compared to a static site that can be served ~entirely from a CDN. A database-backed blog has been outmoded now for years. If you don't want a pre-built theme, you don't need the plugin ecosystem, and you don't need/want a WYSIWYG editor, there's no reason to choose Wordpress.
Is a blog a blog when it hasn’t got comments, feeds, categories, tags? I’d say not. So: sure, if your cdn and static files can do all of those then yeh. But it can’t.
Eh, debating what's a "blog" and what's a "personal website" is splitting hairs.
Most "blogs" nowadays don't have the features you're talking about, because very few people actually care about them anymore. If you really want comments, you can add them via something like Disqus, but so few people are using RSS today that it's not worth bothering with.

#99> I’m applying a tiny amount of film grain to the body. To me, this makes the page feel like one consistent piece; as you scroll down, the noise sticks to the content, somewhat similar to seeing texture on paper. That’s a really nice touch. It does help me with reading, kudos.
I did the same thing a few months ago on my web page https://pablo.rauzy.name/ (well, not on the home page but on all other pages), for the same reason :). The texture is not noised because it is just a CSS trick with background properties so it is quite regular, but I feel like it does the job.
Just letting you know that your site is broken when viewed on an iPad mini. The menu in particular flashes for an instant then disappears again.

#100One part worth noting: this gets dark-mode right by making it a three-way toggle, not a binary toggle - it's automatic/system, prefers-dark, prefers-light. It's not 'opposite whatever'.
