This post is aim to record all changes of my blog, which is inspired by Ji Luo's meta blog post.\nI am not affiliated with any organizations, companies, or brands mentioned in this post though most of they were hyperlinked.
\nOn Feb 19, I picked up the project I wanted to do last year. At the backend side, I chose Fastify and Sequelize. As for the frontend, I customized a webpack project that outputs pug templates can be used by the backend.
\nOn Apr 11, I abandoned the idea to develop a blog system from scratch because there are abundant design choices and I don't have much time to evaluate them this year and next year according to my schedule. Then, I started to build with the help of Gatsby.
\nOn Apr 15, New site was launched.
\nOn June 27th, after months of heavy work on research, I began to revisit my blog and see what could I improve. I added RSS feed generation and a gallery page where I could place my photography.
\nOn May 12, I rebuilt the website with Hugo. Soon I found that Hugo is not so extensible in terms of frontend experience.
\nOn Sep 26, I decided to make my own blog system, which would support Chinese emphasis marks, references between site posts, bibliography and reference management, and inline and block math equation. But I didn't take any actions because I was busy on my paper project at that time.
\nOn Aug 8, I thought shorter domain is easier to be memorized, so I bought the domain cly.wtf again on namesilo.
On Jun 30, I bought the domain synthetic-dream.xyz on GoDaddy. I chose this domain because GoDaddy offered me a huge discount while the renewal fee of cly.wtf is a little bit expensive.
On Sep 9, inspired by 無次元 the podcast, I bought the domain cly.wtf on GoDaddy.
In this year, I attempted to build my blog by using Jekyll and Ghost. I hosted it on Heroku, AppFog (it'd been closed down now) and OpenShift successively. However, since I didn't have a credit card to pay at that time, my blog had no stable public addresses and data had been lost.
\nMeanwhile, I wrote some post (most of them are diaries) on Svbtle. Although the site is amazing, the connection was occasionaly poor in my location, so I didn't keep on it for a long time.
\nOn Jun 12, I made Hyde (not the famous one), which is a simple static blog system built on Express and Jade (now known as pug). However, since I'm not competent to implement features I wanted at that time, I didn't use it for a long time.
