• Migrated the database from Mysql to Postgres
• Added Laravel Pint (code style) to project and included in CI
• Added a Cache layer, so far just used for hit counting

• Changed the main font on the site to something called "Lexend Deca"
• Added a hit counter for articles, just for my own interest
• Added the concept of an Article Summary to show on the front page
• Setup Github actions to run tests when I push (bit late sorting this out, but I finally have it)

Just a quick patch with some minor fixes:

• The Article preview on the front page now shows Markdown text
• I've stopped spamming myself with Slack notifications when in Dev mode
• Minor UI updates (added a couple of shadows around some boxes)

It's been a while with no updates on the site, but I've finally managed to get into it for a few hours today. New in:

• I've added an ArticleViewed event that'll fire (strangely) when an article is viewed
• Just for fun, I've added a Slack notification too
• Added Tags to articles, and a quick system to add them to articles (UI and UX still needs some work here)

A fun weekend of coding has been had, in which I have started to refactor a lot of the code into a Domain-driven design layout, so this quick release is all internal stuff including:

• A Command Bus and Commands being executed from Adapters
• An Auth domain to handle everything user-related
• Lots of things added to an internal TODO list for the future

External:

• Updated Todo list

Internal:

• Record Events raised in the application and add a page to show them
• Fix creating an Article with no content
• Allow de-queuing scheduled articles

External:

• Added pages for /year, /year/month, and /year/month/date as a way to show lists of articles
• Changes the URL for all Articles to being with /articles/ to circumvent a Route ordering issue

Internal:

• Refactored some routes from Folio into proper Controllers because of lack of support for some routing styles (the year/month/date thing)
• Created an Article Repository for querying Articles
• Created an Article Route Service to help generating links to Articles (as the routes now contain the article year/month/date)
• Updated dependencies to latest versions

Visible:

• Added a separate links section at the bottom of the front page
• Added this release notes page
• Promoted my internal TODO.md file to a page on this site

Invisible:

• Refactored the home page into a bunch of components

I only came up with this idea on v0.5.2 so the release notes for this one are basically:

• Initial commit
