I think it is better to have like a continously updated blog post about my recent updates I added to this page so we all can follow along quite nicely 😝. \n \n  - - - \n ### 2023-08-27 \n Hello, long time no see. I finally created a Navbar, was able to design a little logo for myself and adjusted the meta informations. I try to do weekly updates from now on the website. Meanwhile I did a 100 days animation challenge in After Effects where I explore my ability to learn a new skill. I could do till day 30 then university stroke again and I interrupted my challenge but the indermediate results were really good for my expectation. I always feel like I am able  to do anything I want (growth mindset) if I put enough time and effort in it without any distraction (deep work). On the otherside this can be seen as negative because there are so many interesting things I want to try and it holds me back because I can't decide where to move on or what I really want to do in life. 😕 Nevertheless I am not sure on how to continue with this website. The basic stuff is implemented but my thoughts are currently on other things. So I will just list some ideas below which were at some point in time interesting. Thanks for listening 🙏. \n  - [ ] try more ui/ux fundamentals \n - [ ] link my socials \n  - [ ] parallax effect \n  - [ ] feedback box \n  - [ ] google auth \n  - [ ] frontend accessibility (colorblind, fontsize, etc.) \n  - [ ] greencoding (less energy consuming coding) \n  - [ ] gather little coding projects ideas (tic-tac-toe, sort visualizer) \n  - [ ] create books review/summaries content \n   \n - - - \n  - - - \n ### 2023-06-15 \n Finally I finished implementing vercel integrated storage with prisma client. I store my blog post in the database so I don't need to worry about local files but it is still inconvient to add/edit those post. \n Next up is: \n - [x] Create a navbar \n  \n - - - \n  ### 2023-05-04 \n  - [x] Use ChakraUI \n - [x] Rework meta information \n  - [ ] Revise the code base \n - [x] Create little favicon for logo \n - [ ] adjust color themes \n \n - - - \n ### 2023-05-03 \n - [x] ~~improved MD [processing](https://nextjs.org/blog/markdown) (currently using 'dangerouslySetInnerHTML')~~ changed to react markdown \n - [x] added colorModeToggle Button 😆 \n - [x] ~~Check '_document.tsx' if it's necessary~~  special file used to override the default HTML document for the entire application (servier-side-rendering) - just leave it for now \n - [x] own diec.io 😊 \n  - [x] launch on diec.io - im really happy 😊🎉🎉🎉\n - - - \n

Roadmap for this website (updated)

I started on many personal websites and never finished one. Now it's time to get something done because I am reminded of the pressing nature of time; I find myself already at the age of 25 😞. Before I already build websites with [**Vue3**](https://vuejs.org/) and using once [**Bootstrap**](https://bootstrap-vue.org/) the other time I used [**Element Plus**](https://element-plus.org/en-US/).  \n \n - - -   \n \n > I do put a lot of pressure on myself because I have high goals but I did not start to work for it because of constant distraction (no discipline) - welcome to the social media century - nevertheless...     \n \n - - -\n \n Basically I looked up what's new, what can I try out and here I am - starting a new website with [**Next.js**](https://nextjs.org/) I really don't know why I switch to [**React**](https://react.dev/). For me it is not difficult to work with new frameworks I mean it is just looking up docs and try out very often until it works. Of course I don't know why and what are the deepest meaning and functionality given with frameworks but maybe some senior may explain me in the future until then I just try to make it works. \n \n Started reading the docs I saw this [minimal blog](https://next-learn-starter.vercel.app/) which [source code](https://github.com/vercel/next-learn/tree/master/basics/demo) was accessible which I then tried to copy. I turned every js file into [Typescript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) using [ChatGPT](https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt) because why not? I just wanted to use Typescript because it's trendy and also useful - I guess 😆. Also I added [ChakraUI](https://chakra-ui.com/) for some reason there was a problem with global.css but I kinda to fix it - it will not looks exactly like the example blog but who cares. I don't know why I added ChakraUI though - I watched a bit of [devaslife](https://www.youtube.com/c/devaslife) he used it and I wanted to try aswell but I didn't use any components so far - maybe this should be also added on the roadmap 🤔. \n \n So I have this ['selfmade'](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/cwsmdv/a_developer_copying_code_from_stackoverflow/) simple blog now and I will put more content on random topics on it.\n \n There is a little roadmap in my mind right now. Maybe it will be change aswell but for now: \n - [ ] currently everything is frontend post are getting read from some typescript file and loaded in. i want to add a database (postgres) with a backend (springboot) so i can save my post in a database rather than in a file. \n - [ ] use chakraui \n - [ ] meta data are propably not correct - need to check \n - [ ] making a navbar \n - [ ] bio / projects / blog - pages \n - [ ] understand the code more \n - [ ] create little favicon for logo \n \n Random braindump: \n - i did this in 2 days \n - idk what vercel is but at first i just wanted to deploy with firebase but it didnt went well like vercel i should read the doc more xd \n - if im deploying with vercel its full frontend -> i cant expand to springboot right now because then i cant deploy anymore on vercel but soon or later i need to host a server i guess for now its totally enough and nice i like the result 😊 \n
