I'm building my own personal assistant to help me with my daily tasks.
I've been publishing HashPost's code publicly since its inception but it's not actually open source. Recently I've been thinking about what the pros and cons of open sourcing are as well as how HashPost will sustain itself.
After a year and a half of my blog being a dynamic site I'm going back to a static site.
My blog is actually two applications: a frontend and a backend. The frontend used to be a client side rendered (CSR) application, which worked fine for my usual work on internal tools.
Prologue I'll be frank — I've spent most my career building reliability into products and businesses. I've never considered it a feature that's for sale.
Since I started this blog project I've been using a Markdown based WYSIWYG editor. I necessarily had to pick a new framework when I migrated to Vue.
You might hear the wind make up stories. Acorns dream of growing tall. Leaves don't ask before they fall. Light finds its way between the trees. Dew gathers without fuss.

I've been working on the comments system for my blog in the past week. Comments systems are complicated; there's not only what the user experiences but there's also entire sub-systems and metadata...
As promised in one of my earlier posts I have continued to hack on this website. The early days of this project were pretty rudimentary at best as my git history will happily attest to.
I wrote a file manager so that I could upload photos and it turned out a lot better than I expected. I ended up with this feature list: - Public files - Private files - Automated, time-based...
I use OpenAPI Generator's typescript-fetch client in most projects I build. For the most part, it does the job, but it wasn't super obvious how I could capture errors as part of my response.
