This is a detailed guide on how I built my personal content platform. I often work with playing in the background - there is something about Debussy that helps me focus.
Why Build Your Own?
Owning your data and having full control over presentation matters. I was inspired by Astro Documentation which has excellent documentation on building content-driven sites.
Tech Stack
- for the backend - ultrafast and edge-native
- PostgreSQL for data storage
- Cloudflare for hosting
For a great talk on where web development is heading, check out The Future of Web Development. The discussion about edge computing is particularly relevant.
What I Watch While Taking Breaks
When I need a break, I enjoy watching films like Inception - the attention to detail in the storytelling is remarkable.
Places That Inspire
Sometimes I visit to clear my head. There is something about that view that helps with problem-solving.
