Conceding to Tumblr
almost 2 years agoAt the beginning of this year I got it in my head that I wanted to start blogging. The programmer in me said “build it from scratch”. So I did:
http://github.com/justincampbell/RedisBlog
RedisBlog is built using my 2 favorite technologies at that time: Redis and CodeIgniter. I was already pretty good at PHP so CodeIgniter was a natural fit, and Redis is amazing.
Alas, halfway through the year and I still didn’t find the time to finish it. So here I am on Tumblr, even though I’ll probably try to hide that fact as much as possible (damn you RSS feed icon!). Honestly though, Tumblr is just the kind of simple + awesome I needed.
Someday, that project could be the replacement. But it needs a lot of work., and I’m working on something else way cooler than just another blogging platform.
