A Vanity Website
A side project I've been working on and off for the last eight years has finally went live at newsfeeds.fyi. It's not completed by any means, but it is nearly functional for my uses at least.
newsfeeds.fyi is made up of two applications: a backend running on node using express and TypeScript, and a frontend built on react, also using TypeScript. I'll add this to my 'projects' section soon and maybe even do some writing on the process of creating this site in the future.
I wanted to get the site up and running again after walking away from it in the middle of pretty big changes to the architecture (I decided to combine the REST backend with the React frontend into a single project) and it being down for a significant amount of time (database errors).
Getting it live was also held up a bit by some of the libraries being used being out-of-date and hard to use with the current version of NodeJS; the JavaScript world moves fast. After big upgrades to React/TypeScript/MobX and some pretty big changes to the CSS modules. layout and some Docker build issues, I've been able to get it to a much better place to being worked on. Still missing some features needed for public use though.
