 Let’s cut to the chase: **yeah, we know we haven’t published a blog post in a while**. Trust us, it hasn’t been for lack of trying. The old website had its charm, but let’s be honest—it wasn’t exactly user-friendly behind the scenes. Built on a bespoke system, even something as seemingly simple as publishing a blog post felt like jumping through hoops. If you’ve ever had to debug a release process just to share a bit of news, you’ll know the pain.
 
-But that’s all in the past. The new Aurelia website is here, and with it, we’re putting all that clunkiness to bed. It’s fast, modern, and most importantly, designed to make things easier for us—and for you.
