At some point, I got tired of my old static site generator setup for my blogs and other pages. It was annoying to ssh every time I wanted to make a modification, it was annoying to sftp or sshfs all my images, and so forth. And god forbid, if you ever wanted someone else to write something or make an edit, let me tell you, most people are not particularly happy when you tell him "hey, I'll make you a user on my server, give me your public key so you can ssh in".
I wanted something with a little more dynamism.
So that was the project: a small scope blog, where a few, already trusted users can make, edit, and post new pages in markdown (with a nice markdown editor courtesy of SimpleMDE). Additionally, I want a built in jank verison of imgur so I can satisfy my need to be self sufficient without going crazy.
So while I could whip something up in an afternoon with Django, I could also experiment with other languages. The project is simple enough that I can't imagine being too limited by any language's ecosystem. And I've been itching to write something substansive in Rust...
