Rebuilding Instafluff.tv

Update, November 2026: This post describes the March rebuild. The site now publishes through Azure Static Web Apps, and the new version is becoming a home for my projects and writing.

So here's the thing — my old site was basically a Twitch landing page. Big purple embed front and center, some links to socials, and that was it. And look, Twitch was a huge part of my life for years. I built an incredible community there, we made hundreds of open source projects together live on stream, and I wouldn't trade any of it. But it's 2026, and I'm a lot more than a Twitch streamer now. I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft, I live in Prague, I run side businesses, I wrote a cookbook, I got my pilot's license — and my website didn't reflect any of that. It was time.

The old site was built with Astro, which is a great framework honestly. But I wanted something I could grow into. I picked Next.js with static export because I get React components and MDX for writing, while the public pages still build into ordinary HTML. When I wrote this in March, I planned to put that export on GitHub Pages. The site has grown since then: the pages now publish through Azure Static Web Apps, and a separate Azure Function API handles the account and Comfy Pass work. The articles still don't need a Next server to load.

But here's where it gets interesting. I also own comfy.network, and the long-term plan is to turn this whole thing into something bigger — a community platform, user profiles, the works. Think of instafluff.tv right now as phase one: my personal home base. Blog, projects, about me, links. The stuff you'd want to see if you googled "Instafluff" or if I sent you a link from Twitter. Phase two is comfy.network — auth, social features, the whole platform dream. I'm architecting everything now so that transition doesn't require burning it all down and starting over.

For now though? I just want a place to write, to showcase the projects I'm proud of, and to have a corner of the internet that actually feels like me. Not a Twitch page. Not a LinkedIn profile. Just... Instafluff. Welcome to the new site. It's going to be a fun ride.
