I recently built a blog for my wife: curatingcures.com.

When deciding how to build it I considered many apprioaches:

• Use a WYSIWYG like SquareSpace or Webflow
• Use a blog specific generator like ghost
• Build something from scratch

I decided to build it myself. I enjoy web development and I haven’t built a blog since this site.

My main requirements were:

• She should be able to log into a CMS-like portal and edit content
• It should be free (or very inexpensive) for us to operate
• It should be mobile friendly

Here’s the technology stack that I went with (and was very happy with!).

• Remix
• Tailwind
• DaisyUI (with theme cupcake)
• DatoCMS
• Deployed with Vercel

It’s a work in progress but I’m proud of how it’s come together!
