And on 9th July, this site turned one! It's not a very big project, but I'm so so proud of it. +I still haven't met my goals, I don't have a regular audience, I don't even write regularly. +I seriously need to (and will!) fix that. But in the background, I've been doing many cool things! +This ["brain dump"](https://bt.ht/dump/) of a blog really means a lot to me, but I guess I haven't had much of brain to dump lately. +But there'd definitely will be more interesting content coming soon to this site, for sure. + +# The history of vidhukant.com + +It all started from my laptop. I had set up my domain to redirect to an ngrok tunnel to my laptop. +Nice placeholder, but not practical. Also since I wanted to host a mailserver, it wasn't for me! +So I got Vultr, which is the hosting service this random guy on the internet called [Luke Smith](https://lukesmith.xyz) uses. +On there I hosted a very basic HTML page that looked much like this site's homepage, and started developing [vidhublog](https://dev.vidhukant.xyz/vidhublog) +which was my attempt on creating a blog website in Go. +That kinda failed, then I switched to plain HTML until I realised it was very cumbersome if I wanted many pages. +That's when I found [HUGO](https://gohugo.io)! HUGO is an awesome static site generator, and you're looking at a product of HUGO right now. +Oh, and also, I had problems with Vultr so I switched to Linode. And I've been a very happy customer since then! + +I figured, if I want to become a random guy on the internet, I have to follow the path of other random guys on the internet. +Because of that, I tried to make my website as small as possible without hurting the look of the website and added it to [512kb.club](https://512kb.club)! +Also, on [LandChad.net](https://landchad.net) I found many tutorials to do cool stuff on the server.
