Redesigning the website

I redesigned my website (yak shaving for the nth time) to consolidate my blogs¹ that were placed on various hosting services.
The last application was written in Go that parses Markdown files and returns HTML, but I didn’t think it was necessary to store contents in separated markdown files, so I decided to use DB instead.
The hosting service is still DegitalOcean.

At first, I tried to rewrite it in Rust, using Actix and so on, but I ended up with Python and Django.
It only took me a couple of hours to read the documentation and have it working reasonably well in my hands, and I felt the maturity of the frameworks.
In particular, the built-in admin panel is handy and helps me set up the site quickly.

I’ve wanted to share the photos I’ve taken as a hobby for a long time, and I’m glad to share that on this page finally.

On the other hand, the migration of the website is not completely finished

• The parser I’m currently using doesn’t support some syntax highlighting in past articles.
• Broken links for images
• OGP settings
• Settings for analytics
• Sunset of the existing site

I want to fix them sometime soon.
