## A Fresh Start with yan.ad

If you’ve followed my journey, you might know I have a bit of a habit: changing my domain name! From **yanuar.co** to **yanuar.dev** and a few others in between, my online presence has always been evolving. But today, I’m excited to announce that **yan.ad** is here to stay as my professional portfolio page.

### Why yan.ad?

I wanted a domain that’s short, memorable, and truly represents my personal brand. After experimenting with several options, **yan.ad** felt like the perfect fit for my portfolio and future projects.

### A Sad News: Why Not yanu.ar or yanuar.id?

Some of you might wonder why I didn’t go with **yanu.ar** or **yanuar.id**. Unfortunately, **yanu.ar** is not only more expensive, but it’s also a bit harder to pronounce for Indonesian speakers. As for **yanuar.id**, it’s sadly already taken by someone else out of nowhere. So, I decided to go with something that’s both practical and easy to remember.

### Built with Modern Tools

This new site is crafted using the latest technologies:

- **Nuxt.js 3** for a fast, modern web experience
- **Tailwind CSS** for utility-first, responsive styling
- **Material 3 Expressive Design** for a clean, accessible, and visually appealing interface

### Professional Email & Hosting

To keep things professional, I’ve set up my email using **Zoho Mail**—so you can always reach me at **me@yan.ad**. The site itself is hosted on **Vercel**, ensuring fast load times and reliable uptime.

Thanks for joining me on this new chapter. Feel free to explore my portfolio, check out my projects, and get in touch!
