#15 - It's alive!

It's done.

As you can probably notice, I just published the new version of the blog! If it's still the same, clear your cache =)

I've noticed several issues now that it's in production, especially the mobile version. It was nice to start a project from scratch and see it going live.

Lessons learned

MVP

I always follow the concept of making an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) at work. But it was tough to follow while making this personal project. I got sidetracked multiple times by some features that shouldn't be a priority. I would have finished much faster if I had stuck with what was the absolute priority.

Test your UI

I use dark mode on my browser, so I mainly used this mode during development. I only opened it on a phone after it was published and realized how broken it was. Both the light theme and the layout need to be fixed on mobile.

Don't be afraid

I was insecure about publishing it; it had to be perfect. But I should not let this hold me back. Sure, I could do better testing, as mentioned above. But it is not like someone is dying because of these mistakes.
