It’s been a while since the last time I wrote a blog. Actually, I rarely write English blogs, but I’ve been writing about everything I found useful in Persian at Virgool, PersianCG, and a lot of other places that I can’t remember now. I’m planning to eventually transfer them here.
Regarding this new website, I had something in mind to build using Next, Postgres, and other “cool” technologies these days. This was confining me since it requires me to find a good amount of time. But then I decided to go with a good old friend—the conqueror of the web—WordPress. Eventually, I was like: Seriously, man, why make things complicated? You just want text to be shown on a screen. Why do you need a DB and a PHP parser? Finally, I decided to make this simple website using Jekyll and a self-hosted Commento for comments. Ahhh, thank God! It took me less than six hours to do everything. I also used my own instance of CapRover to host this project with no extra costs. It might not be the best option, depending on your definition of “best”, but this is good enough for me and it gives me the satisfaction of having a useful and functional website.
So here we are: hello world, AGAIN!
What elseee? I’m planning to write more frequently, and I already have some ideas. Things that come to my mind now (because I’ve been dealing with them for the last few months) are WebRTC, WebRTC servers, how Socket.IO works under the hood, the hell of 3rd-party dependencies, and—last but not least—my game, which I’m planning to release this year (hopefully). Also, I don’t want this blog to be just about programming. I’ll share my ideas about life, my experiences, immigration, different cultures, and basically everything I find interesting.
Oh, I almost forgot, Happy New Year! I wish all of the best for everyone.
