I Didn’t Have a Developer Website, So I Built One.

For a long time, I published most of my articles on DEV.to. Not because I had some big strategy behind it. I simply didn't have a website of my own. DEV.to was convenient. I could write something, publish it, and put it in front of other developers. But eventually I started thinking: What if I had my own place for all of this? My projects. My articles. Things I've built. Things I've broken.…

I decided to create my own personal developer portfolio and blog called Devlogr. I had been publishing most of my articles on DEV.to, but I wanted to have a place of my own for all my projects, articles, and learnings. The name Devlogr combines "Dev" and "Log," representing a log of my developer journey. The site features sections for articles about my builds, problems, experiments, and lessons learned, as well as a section for my projects with GitHub integration.

I also prioritized SEO, making sure the site has dynamic page metadata, canonical URLs, sitemaps, and other SEO-friendly elements. Although Devlogr is not yet finished, I plan to continue improving it as I use it. I invite others who are building their own corners of the internet to share their experiences.
