Writing My Own Software Again

So I have finally started to write my own software again. It has been absolutely years since I last had my site running on some sort of hand rolled blog software. This time I opted to write a node.js application from (almost) scratch. I wanted to gain some real experience structuring an app without relying upon some pre-built systems.

It was really nice to take some time to think about how I used to hand roll my own blog and how I could make this new iteration so much more. There's no 'admin' right now as I'd really like to focus on frontend features than worry too much about how to manage it. So I'm currently writing this in a SQL client app rather than some sort of textarea on an admin URL. Fun!

Hopefully, this could see me writing more!
