Welcome to rohitdhakane.me

A minimal portfolio, component registry, and blog to showcase my work as a Design Engineer.

Hello and welcome!

This is the very first post on my blog, built with Next.js, MDX, and a custom rendering system that makes reading and learning a joy.

What Makes This Blog Special? 🤔

Thanks to my setup, you’ll see:

Headings with beautiful typography
Tables for comparing features
Rich syntax-highlighted code blocks
A copy button for quick code copying
Multi-package manager command rendering
Automatic external link handling
Language icons in figcaptions
And custom React components embedded directly in posts

Example: JavaScript Function

function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}! 👋`;
}
 
console.log(greet("Developer"));

Installing Dependencies in Any Package Manager

pnpm add next react react-dom

Thanks to the CodeBlockCommand component, these commands are neatly organized and easy to switch between.

Table of Features

Feature	Available	Description
Headings	✅	`h1` through `h6` all styled via custom `<Heading>`
Syntax Highlighting	✅	Powered by `rehype-pretty-code`
Copy Button	✅	Added to all `pre` code blocks
Multi-Package Command UI	✅	Rendered with `CodeBlockCommand` component
Tables	✅	Styled via custom `<Table>` set
External Links	✅	Open in new tabs with proper `rel` attributes
Language Icons in Captions	✅	Automatically rendered if code block language is detected
Inline Code Styling	✅	Uses `<Code>` typography component for inline snippets

Inline Code Examples

When you see something like const port = 3000;, that’s an inline code example using the <Code> typography component.

Code with Figcaption & Language Icon

type User = {
  id: string;
  name: string;
};
 
function getUser(id: string): User {
  return { id, name: "Rohit" };
}

This setup isn’t just about looks — it’s about better communication. By combining good design with developer-friendly features, I can share articles that are easy to read, easy to use, and fun to explore.

Thanks for joining me on this journey — and get ready for some exciting posts ahead!
