The first post. A quick note on why I started this site.
Why a Site
I've been heads-down building things on my own, and once a project is done, it just goes into a code repo. Over time I noticed a few problems with that:
- No record of the process — once it's done, I've already forgotten it
- No way for non-developer friends to see what I've made
- No feedback channel — I never know how others perceive it
So I started this site. It's not about marketing. It's a versioned workbench for myself.
What I'll Write
I'm planning three kinds of posts:
- Dev logs — the trade-offs and gotchas while building a feature
- Tool notes — things I've used and think are worth recommending
- Essays — day-to-day thoughts from an indie dev
No promises on update frequency. I'll write when I have something to say.
Why This Format
I've tried a few publishing approaches and ended up with a lightweight, easy-to-maintain site. The reasons:
- Articles and code are versioned together
- Low maintenance cost
- Fast loading, good reading experience
- A place where readers can leave feedback
Suits someone like me who wants to maintain things slowly on their own.
