The author decided to rewrite their website using plain HTML and CSS instead of SvelteKit due to dissatisfaction with the Javascript bundler ecosystem and the simplicity of their site. They preferred Markdown for writing blog posts and used Pandoc for conversion, along with Python and uv for scripting and serving the site. The rewrite resulted in a smaller site size and simpler project structure. Despite some code duplication and lack of live reloading, the author is happier with the new setup and hopes it serves as a good template for others.
