SVGs to Make Your Blog Stand Out
summary
Claim: embedding SVG as React components turns a plain dev blog into a distinctive site by letting code control parts, colors and animation. Implementation uses Chakra UI for theming, converts exported SVGs (keeps ids) to JSX, and wires hover/click handlers plus motion libraries like react-spring and framer motion. Built items: interactive two-face logo, theme-switching planet illustration, animated SVG buttons and card backgrounds; each component runs in the forked blog and the interactions work as shown.
