Two Swedish punctuation marks I keep second-guessing are the colon (kolon) and the semicolon (semikolon). They look alike, they both sit inside a sentence, and they both replace a word — so this is my reference for which one to use when. (The dash gets its own post.) It's my own summary of the rules as laid out in Siv Strömquist's Skiljeteckensboken.

The dash (tankstreck) is a punctuation mark I have mixed feelings about. I like it where it actually adds something, and dislike it when it's used carelessly, or written as a hyphen where it should be a dash. (Its siblings the colon and semicolon get their own post.) It's my own summary of the rules as laid out in Siv Strömquist's Skiljeteckensboken.

I first started blogging in 2018. I used HTML, CSS and JavaScript—no frameworks or dependencies.

In 2019, I wanted to reuse UI components, so I rewrote my blog in React.

In 2020, I wanted to use MDX, so I rewrote my blog in Gatsby. I built my own internationalization solution. It worked, but had a few bugs that I didn't have the energy to prioritize properly.

In 2021, I wanted to learn Next.js, so I rewrote my blog in...Next.js.

Later in 2021, I wanted to ship less JavaScript, so I rewrote my blog in Astro.

In 2022, I wanted this madness to end.

So I rewrote my blog in Docusaurus.

I did.
