The main ideas behind this blog project are as follows:
-
I have always been a backend developer and lack experience in frontend development. I hope that through this project, I can build up relevant experience and eventually become a Full Stack developer.
-
I want to have a project that showcases my technical skills, which I can include in my resume so that others can easily see my abilities.
-
I have always had an idea. When I was learning programming in university, I thought that one day I would create my own blog, where I could record both my technical insights and my understanding of life or the world. This platform would allow me to express myself freely, without the risk of being easily censored by a platform. I happened to come across https://plantree.me, which greatly inspired me to start this blog.
-
I hope that through this blog project, more people will get to know me, and I will be able to connect with more people. I consider this project as an entry point to connect with the world.
PS: After about a week of development, the basic functions of the blog have been set up. Currently, the entire frontend, backend, and database are hosted on AWS, and the operational cost is nearly zero. I am very happy about this, and I am deeply grateful to AWS for offering such a great Free Tier plan. Thanks to their plan, I started using cloud services step by step, gradually growing into a full stack developer. There are still many areas of this blog project that can be optimized, and I will try to develop a new feature every day.

Additionally, this website has an Easter egg design! I hope you can find it. Haha.
