👩🏻‍💻 (Re-)Introducing Adrianne Codes

😬 It’s been way over a month…

During the last week of March and the first week of April, my fam and I traveled to Long Beach to visit my sister and her family. We weren’t really there for sightseeing, and we mostly stayed home to take care of my nephew. I don’t have enough photos or even enough details on the spots that we went through, so there’s no new post for my ADRI TRAVELS travel blog series. Yes, it will still continue here from the old ADRIANNE’S SPACE website.

However, this post isn’t about my travel. This post would be about my latest web project– the rebuilding and relaunching my old web dev/technical writing portoflio site, Adrianne Codes.

💭 Adrianne Codes… again?

Just for a quick history of the site, here is a mini-timeline:

• 2017: The NINPOJineous (ninpojineous.ninja) was launched. It was my original web dev/technical writing site that served both as a simple coding and daily tools tutorial and a learning blog.
• 2021: The NINPOJineous was converted to a a much simpler, more “personal” domain: Adrianne Codes. Both The NINPOJineous and Adrianne Codes were powered by WordPress. Different name, same purpose.
• 2023: Adrianne Codes was re-mapped to Hashnode, converting it into a Hashnode-powered blog. I no longer had time to do backend maintenance and just wanted to blog. However, instead of writing about web dev and coding, it ended up becoming a blog about data analytics and thoughts about AI.
• 2026: Adrianne Codes has been rebuilt as a stand-alone site again. But this remake is completely different from the WordPress-powered site years ago. This time, it’s powered by Astro, a static site generator. It’s a stand-alone website again, but because this is created by an SSG instead of WordPress, there’s less backend maintenance. I ended up using Hashnode again, but is now used as a headless CMS. I write all my posts using Hashnode, but they get published on the site itself.

The differences?

• I added a Learn notes section. In a way, this replaces my old Blog section in the old Adrianne Codes. Instead of writing full-blown blog posts that got little to do with coding or anything code-related that I learned on the way, I decided to do a Learn Notes series— talking about a few things I learned but not in full posts.
• The “blog” part of Adrianne Codes will be written here on Adrianne’s Blog. I’ll probably do the same with my other sites on the technical aspects. But we’ll see.
• The featured image I’m using now is a default image. I don’t need to take a screenshot of my site(s) as featured images.

I’m really looking forward to this new direction. I’m now building a few coding projects here and there and I can’t wait to launch them in the future!
