The Best of My Previous Blog — fanaro.io

This website you're using right now is actually my third corner on the web. For a brief while I had a WordPress blog, but a little bit later, I decided to move to a place where I had total control over, without any third-party software.

The fanaro.io Github repository.

Slowly, I programmed everything from scratch, with only HTML, CSS, JS, and Web Components. The result was the bare-bones website you see on psygo.github.io/fanaro.io — its code can be inspected on github.com/psygo/fanaro.io. That used to be on fanaro.io, but I stopped paying for that domain, and someone bought it to funnel the traffic elsewhere.

My previous blog, fanaro.io.

As a software developer and writer, I do feel a lot of cringe about that project. Even though I'm nostalgic about 1990s web design, I believe the more modern UX you're using right here is much better — and I have plans to turn this website into a 3D experience!

Back then, I also thought having no frameworks would make my website more long-lasting. However, especially in the post-AI era, code is really a commodity, just a means, we can rewrite it with little cost at any point.

Anyway, with 140+ articles — in Portuguese, English and French —, some of the content I wrote on that blog is still quite useful and/or enjoyable, and I might transcribe it here someday. But, for now, I'll just list some of its best entries, in alphabetical order:
