about
who am i?
I have asked myself this question numerous times, and am yet unable to answer it confidently. I guess I'll try to sum up some of the superficial details though.
I am a 19 year old, uni student from and living in Cardiff in Wales. I study Electrical and Electronic Engineering, because I hate myself. I make terrible music that never gets finished, and spend a lot of time programming silly projects no one will pay any attention too, such as this one!

about the website
I looked at wordpress, at squarespace, at tumblr, at livejournal at blogspot and more, and came to one conclusion: they were all significantly lacking in security vulnerabilities. So I decided to make my own CMS, which would inevitably be full of holes for people to exploit. Here's some technical details for those interested:
- Backend is a basic express server running through an nginx reverse proxy on a ubuntu digital ocean droplet.
- Using handlebars for basic templating and logic, basically as a html preprocessor.
- PostgreSQL just to store some articles, because I am not stupid enough to try storing sensitive information like passwords.
- Everything else basic html, css and javascript, no fancy transpilers or frontend frameworks.
