Projects                         Weblog                    14 April 2024


   This weekend caught me by surprise: usually, after a workweek, I
   dedicate my free time to hanging out with friends or taking trips to
   new cities in Germany via Deutsche Bahn trains.  However, this time
   the weather turned sour for traveling, and my friends already had
   their own plans, so I decided to occupy myself with something
   interesting.  I chose to work on a project I had been contemplating
   for a while - a plain text-based blog engine on PHP.

   As you might have guessed, I succeeded (after all, you are most
   likely reading this text rendered by my engine).  I have long been a
   proponent of minimalism, and running a blog in such a style is
   thrilling for me because it requires neither a database, nor HTML,
   nor CSS - nothing!  Everything is stored in text files, which are
   rendered in a special way when the site is visited.  I was inspired
   by the RFC format, so the blog looks accordingly.

   Currently, the blog engine supports generating sitemap.xml, RSS,
   displaying posts by unique links, categories, and date.  As a bonus,
   you can find a cat on the 404 page if you try hard enough (give it a
   shot).  The blog engine's source code is available on GitHub.
