Here I will share my journey of building, updating, and maintaining this website.
I will try yo use as less as possible of copilot when writing all of this, let's see how it goes.
Sunday Morning – The Velvet Underground
Uff, changed the design of the website, and created a efficient post system now i render the markdown in the server side, and show in the front-end, pretty cool. there is also some dates you see? i just need to create a .md file in the /posts
It Was A Good Day – Ice Cube
Saturday, what a good day to do... something.
Here's what i did today:
- Decide weather to use Svelte or React for this project (Svelte won)
- Set up a new Svelte project
- Set up a new GitHub repository
- Turn that first HTML into a Svelte component
- Deploy the new Svelte project to S3 (A script to sync with S3 when deploying)
- Create this Dev Blog (to be honest i'm writing this raw in the svelte component, i will find a better way eventually;)
There's also some stuff with infrastructure:
- I want to handle sub-domains and also allow HTTPS in my website
- Decide between CloudFront, Route53 + ALB (CloudFlare won, wait was that a option? ehhh yea it happens i can use it)
- Set up CloudFlare for my domain (fairly easy to say, also the free tier is pretty good)
- CloudFlare -> Route53 -> S3, that's ok i guess 👀
Let's Get It Started – Black Eyed Peas
Yea, I just got back from the beach, has been some time since I've worked on any personal project. Since I'm no longer at a job, let's do something.
The idea for this first day was:
- Buy a domain with a cool name (I've been thinking about this one for a while)
- Set up Route53 + S3 for hosting a simple static website
- Ask GPT to write some random HTML
It works! It's alive! And it's a simple static website, but it's mine.
