Originally posted on the strackt devlog in February 2021, during the early build. Brought over so the whole journey lives in one place.

This is one of the ideas that got stuck in my head. One that seems feasible and workable. Very few get somewhere, this one will now get it's turn. It's time to just get started


What got done

  • Defined a project name - Strackt 💡

  • Registered the basic domains 📃

  • Add projectstrackt.dev to personal server with DNS, SSL and placeholder site

  • Starting a basic Statamic site on projectstrackt.dev

  • Quick homestead server for setup and testing

  • Deploying Statmic 3 on basic webserver shows the need for this project straight away: Ubuntu 16.04 with PHP 7.0 - no way to run Laravel 8 on this 💣

  • Basic upgrade from PHP7 to PHP 7.3 - personal website collapsed. After some debugging, disabled some plugins and back to work. Will need major update ✍️

  • And the basics are up and running 🎊

Up next

  • A theme to cover the basics

  • Core project site should show the goal, progress and a Dev log. Some visuals would be nice

  • Analytics tracking, SEO, the basics

  • Room to capture my reMarkable writings
