What was your win this week?

This week was fairly great for me! Here are some wins:

• I managed to connect my Next.js frontend with my Ghost headless CMS, which retrieves blog posts to render on my static site.
• styled my company website's blog section.
• learned a lot of things about Next.js, Ghost, and a little bit of Typescript.
• reviewed a little bit of Scrum.
• slowly regaining my momentum again.
• got to know some interesting people.
• got to spend my time with my wife for my birthday.

I also would recommend Ghost over WordPress for blogging, it's open source and has great features! Here's a link to the Ghost documentation.

I bought a high profile domain, hosted it, SEO'd it, then tweeted all week about it

Finally making something work after one week of trying. I found myself smiling for quite some time on Friday. It was a nice end-of-the-week moment. I guess this is why I love the struggle in programming.

I started Hashnode blog at blog.pontakorn.dev/. It's a tough decision because I want to focus on my content instead of adjusting website to fit the blog, which is time-consuming for me.

I probably start to publish in English more.

• Created a dark mode for my app, and released it on ProductHunt!!!
• Hit 1 million visits finally :D
• Deleted more useless php code
• Just discovered the import thingy in javascript. Implemented it in my app. Kinda satisfied now
• Redesigned my app to Material Design 3!

Relaunch of Info Rhino's website

A huge amount of work has gone into rebuilding our web data platform to be data ready.

inforhino.co.uk

We relaunched our website with a better description of services and products.

The hope is to relaunch our property platform and a cryptocurrency data platform shortly.

Do take a look as the focus is on collaboration.

Maybe not a win, but managed to get some rest 😌

Published a new tutorial on DEV!
