So it seems the day has come. I've been thinking of writing this blog for over a year now. As it stands, I have a lot to say but as my high school professor in literature would say, I have a cowboy thought pattern when writing stuff. So bear with me while I unravel this thought chaos and learn how to express myself (but this time in a correct way).
So, what will I write about, you may ask?
My general software development experiences (mostly PHP/Laravel ecosystem)
My DevOps experiences (mostly connected with PHP/Laravel since I have some experience with deploying those from past years)
Random things (this is my wildcard for when you see random stuff here)
Will there be any comment section for us to ask questions, suggestions and report issues?
Short answer is Yes. Long answer is that in next period I will add the comment section to this simple blog system that I've developed just for my own sake. If you wanna check it out, go check https://github.com/goran-despotoski/blog and ping me there maybe :) . Don't expect anything fancy, since it's just a simple blog system built in Laravel which I want to use as a learning ground also.
What are some of the features I want to add?
- For one, Analytics section, nothing fancy, just a section for Google Analytics, Fathom Analytics, whatever I find appropriate to use which will be enough for it.
- Archive/history listing
- Auto generated sitemap
- Cached posts are a must, I mean, who wants to wait for 50ms for opening database connections and reading and stuff like that.
- Fix backend tiptap that I use and how it's shown here. Hopefully by the time you read this, the post content will look normal and not like someone formatted it in Wordpad 20 years ago...
- Update backend tiptap with toolbars and more rich text editing options (currently there's no file uploads option for admin pages).
Anyways, I digress with jiberish as usual, read you soon,
