I GOT THE BACKEND RUNNING!!!

Now I'm still missing the frontend, but I'll probably do that tomorrow.

Deployment is much more work than I initially anticipated.

I can't figure out whether I dockerize everything (i.e. backend, frontend and database) or just the backend. There's many contrasting opinions online and I don't really see the advantage, there's only added complexity, especially for the database.

My gosh, websockets are a pain (especially with the go x/net library 😭)

I must admit, SEO wise, averagelambda.dev has been kinda dry.

I'm trying to build a (very simple) backend in Go. It's fine, but what the heck is the error handling 😭

Once I'm done with the project I'll post about it here, it'll be a web app which everybody can use.

Building software for yourself is (without exaggeration) about ten times easier than building it for the public (i. e. random users).

The security principles and handling of edge cases have to be much more robust, as well as the usability and UI/UX.

I just realized that my blog articles are actually doing something in terms of SEO.

Here's a couple of stats from Google Analytics if you're interested.

I got almost 40 impressions through SEO alone.

I'm thinking of going on a side-quest and building some sort of online board where everybody can post anything (just text, no pictures). Kind of like a forum but there's no account, it's anonymous and no "algorithm", it's sorted chronologically. Like one big group chat.

Quick update on the SEO of my file converter website...
It's not looking good to be honest, but it's fine, I've heard that it takes months to see consistent results.

Yesterday we got zero active users 😭

I just heard about Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Irregardless of political views, I find some of the posts people are making about him quite frankly despicable.

Feeling joy because of someone's death is psychopathic behaviour.

I created another blog post yesterday. #seo requires an immense amount of patience it seems, because I'm not really seeing any results.

Go check out the post, it compares the JPEG image format to PNG:

Having a blog sounds fun to be honest.

Like a personal one where you write about anything that comes to your mind. Kind of like a YouTube channel, but in written form.

Progressive web apps are such a pain.

I have no idea what's going on, most of the stuff I'm writing with AI, it's unintuitive, typescript is poorly supported, the service worker API is still a mystery to me, it's hard to test and to debug.

I wouldn't wish it upon anybody.

Here's an update on my SEO journey. It's going alright, the main problem is that I don't know how Google counts active users and how often it counts my own visits (even just for testing).

Anyhow, make of these numbers what you will.

Here's the site: averagelambda.dev

Guys, I tried setting up my blog. It's my first time and the article I published is kind of basic but maybe some less tech savvy people can benefit from it.

Check it out: averagelambda.dev/blog

I also added a slight gradient to the background but idk if it looks good...

Which means that I can now rank for keywords. I will post updates about the whole #seo game.

Sorry I got confused, it hasn't been indexed yet, only crawled...

I'm new to this search engine stuff 😅

Launched a crazy cool file converter yesterday.

Would love some feedback. :)

I still need to improve the responsive design, but for now it works.

Here's the URL: averagelambda.dev

I know it doesn't have much to do with file conversion, give me a break please 🥹

okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public?

now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.
