Project 1 - Setting up the blog

Web

So, here we are.

This is the first project in the list which is…. Exactly this whole website. Although this would be an ongoing project we can tick the box of completing the MVP.

I was looking for something “on a budged”. Did some quick AI research and managed to come to the following setup which is:

  • Astro Framework - Pretty cool, all I’m doing right now is writing up some MD files for the posts. There will be on-going modifications but looks clean enough. Everything gets committed to GitHub (which for so many years as a Product Manager I’ve managed to avoid)
  • Hosting on CloudFlare - It’s free (for now). Depending on how things go
  • Hosting - Hopefully, by the time you’re reading this it will be setup on a proper domain
  • Tech stack - I’m running VS Code on Ubuntu for most of the work I’ll be doing

What I learned: Basic setup for Astro Framework. Basic GitHub and super basic CloudFlare How to replicate: Basically AI (of your choice) how to set it up. You don’t need VS Code etc. for all of this. Just a simple terminal.
