Are you a life-long learner? Are you haunted by multiple interests? Above all else, do you think that the opinion of a jack-of-all-trades, master of none, matter at all?
If so, welcome to A Geek's Burrow, a place where I lose track of my mind as an attempt to build an online presence. Here, you will find articles that cover a vast array of topics: from Computer Science to Literature, from language learning to philosophical reflections... the one thing I can assure you is that all topics will inevitably touch a subject in the geek world!
A Geek's Burrow started off as a challenge from Angela Yu's Web Development Bootcamp. I've allowed myself to add a couple of complexities to keep the challenge fresh. I intend on using the platform as my go-to writing spot when I venture myself in the writing of online articles, rather than using Medium.
Here's the prototype I made on Figma!. For those who have been here since the beginning, here's the original design. Talk about a glow up!
Here's the technologies that make A Geek's Burrow run:
- EJS and HTML, for the skeleton of the website;
- Vanilla CSS, so it isn't horrendous to look at;
- JavaScript, NodeJS and Express, for all the pesky programming part;
- MongoDB, so there actually is content to be read.
I've tried to keep the project as simple as it could possibly be. It marks my first attempt at a Fullstack application, rather than a Frontend one.
As a Fullstack application, A Geek's Burrow will run on Vercel. I shall add a link both in the repo's link section and in the file you are currently reading once the project reaches deployment stage.
