Why I Built Console Blog

Every developer has that moment when existing tools just don't cut it anymore. For me, that moment came when I was looking for a simple, developer-friendly blogging platform.

The Problem

I wanted a blogging platform that:

Supported markdown natively - Because writing in markdown is second nature to developers
Was fast and lightweight - No bloated interfaces or unnecessary features
Felt like home - An interface that developers would actually enjoy using

The Solution

That's when I decided to build Console Blog. It's a platform designed with developers in mind, featuring:

Clean, distraction-free writing experience
Native markdown support with live preview
Fast performance and modern tech stack
Developer-friendly features out of the box

What I Learned

Building Console Blog taught me more than I expected. Beyond the technical skills—like implementing markdown parsing, managing authentication, and deploying to production.

I also discovered that building for yourself first is powerful. When you're your own user, you know exactly what needs to exist and what's just noise.

What's Next

I'm excited to continue improving Console Blog and see how the community uses it. If you have ideas or feedback, I'd love to hear from you!
