Honestly didn't even thought I would build this mainly because of burnout from school and just life in general. But I managed to lock in on building this blog project mainly because I've been needing a place to dump my mind and ideas on and I've been looking for an opportunity to practice and fix my grammar and ~~totally formal~~ writing. I'll be talking about more than just tech related stuff and _maybe_ some real life things I'm experiencing.

I will hopefully develop and expand this blog with more features and write more than my previous blogs. Not a gurantee but I really hope so as I have a _bad_ habit of leaving things undocumented. The current way of making new blog posts doesnt really allow me to make posts from mobile easily so I might not post as often as I wanted to but I'll fix that later. I also have plans to make this my main website _if_ things are _stable enough_ and this ends up receiving more traffic.

## Technical Details

The design and architecture of this blog is heavily insipired by my friend's site, [orangc](https://notes.orangc.net/). Only difference being that I wrote a custom static site generator from scratch using [Bun](https://bun.com/) as it has a [builtin parser for Markdown](https://bun.com/docs/runtime/markdown). I'm pretty proud of the end result so far, the build script uses _zero_ NPM dependencies (_except for [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/) of course_) and everything was actually relatively fast with full lighthouse scores. Everything is hosted on [Cloudflare Workers](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/workers/) with the source code for this site hosted on [my Forgejo instance](https://git.satr14.my.id/satr14/ssg.md) (including all posts written in markdown, you can click on the **view revisions** link under the post title to view the commits for this post).

This isn't one of my first attempts of writting a blog website. Most of them failed mainly due to lack of motivation to actually write anything. I tried using [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) once but that learning curve (~~or just a skill issue~~) was too high for me so I opted to write my own blog from scratch using [SvelteKit](https://kit.svelte.dev/) and [Pocketbase](https://pocketbase.io/) which was **highly** overkill and it was teadious to even write.

List of features to implement:
- [ ] Table of contents
- [ ] Comments, Reactions, View counts
- [ ] Live message feed for anything I feel like shitposting (think WhatApp channels)
- [ ] Submission form to send messages to me straight from this site
