I wrote some blog software to learn a few new technologies. Kinda fun. Kinda dumb. In this particular case, I was also interested in a kind of minimalist “micro blog” aesthetic. So, we’ll see how that goes.

Blog software is a good use case for learning new things:

  • Authentication
  • Database
  • Post UI
  • Post Rendering
  • In-browser client and static pages
  • Customization vs open source on github
  • Configuration
  • Run on super constrained cloud servers
  • Multi-file source code project management

A much more complicated hello world that forces you to deal with the things the underlying technology isn’t especially good at.
