This is my very first post. It took quite a while for me to get here, but finally, I have published something!
I have always wanted to make a simple text-based site ever since I saw this video. It just never occured to me that in the length of that video (18:37), it was possible to setup a basic html website, and even with HTTPS. I just wanted to try to see if it was really that easy, and it really was! When I saw my first “hello-world” html webpage on a localhost link, I got really excited!
But with that tiny accomplishment, I wanted more. I realised I was tinkering with quite a bit of stuff in my free time and have quite a bit of thoughts and guides that I wrote for myself. I was even sharing some of these with my friends, but even then, I still felt that I was just exploring for the sake of exploring and not going anywhere. But I chanced upon this blog and it inspired me to catalog and publish what I’ve been learning in my spare time. And so with some late nights, and meeting a couple of dead ends, I finally have a working platform to publish my thoughts!
I envision this blog to be a collection of things that I have learned, first as a guide to friends and strangers who might retrace the steps that I have took, and also as a reminder to myself of where I started from and the journey that I had taken.
