History of jimsegal.com

I have had the domain and putting up interesting (to me) projects here since 2013 (maybe longer, but that was the oldest commit I could find). In true software tradition, I had built a frankenstien of a website and supporting services.

The following was the daily driver of jimsegal.com from Aug 28, 2013.

• landing page and some others - vanilla html, javascript, css, deployed through aws s3 bucket
• projects.jimsegal.com - react SPA, javascript, deployed through github pages
• api.jimsegal.com - node, express, javascript, deployed through heroku
• railway-admin.jimsegal.com - headless cms by strapi.io, deployed through railway.app

I knew this was a mess and needed to be consolidated. I knew this had to be rewritten.

Previous attempts to rewrite:

• One of my attemps to was actually a long running feature branch:

  • jsegal205/jimsegal.com#32

• Additional rewrite in elixir until I realized I don't need all the overhead of a full server and database for what I'm doing with the site now.
