Baseline: 22 widgets, zero UI kits.
A 13-page marketing and portfolio site with 22 custom interactive widgets, built from scratch. No chart libraries, no Tailwind, no UI kits.
Baseline is my own product, and its marketing site is a showcase of what custom code can do when nothing is pulled off a shelf. Thirteen pages, and 22 custom interactive widgets built from scratch: radar charts, timelines, signal gauges, heatmaps, constellation maps.
No chart libraries. No Tailwind. No UI kits. Every widget is hand-written, which is why the site stays fast despite how much it does. Next.js with strict TypeScript on Cloudflare Pages, zero UI dependencies.
It is the clearest answer to why build custom? The things that make this site distinct could not have come from a template or a plugin. They had to be written.
