Development Story

So, it was in the late 2020's I was actually out of ideas, I usually update my portfolio which was made in react adding blogs, my skills and etc, Then I suddenly realised that it's kinda easy for developers to make portfolios but it would damn difficult for normal people, creators. They might need to pay someone for just a simple portfolio website, Then came the idea for this project.

Difficulties

Well, The first difficulty was basically the Database and hosting, I didn't knew what's gonna happen in the future. So I had my AWS Plan, I didn't know anything about aws. I learnt from the documentation and came to the conclusion of using MongoDB, Because it was good at everything. But their arises another problem of ssl with EC2 because i was new to EC2 i learnt about elastic ips and after that i finally was able to setup everything for the backend.

Features

When I was actually building the frontend, Several ideas came to my mind of adding Connections you know like discord, A lot of ideas came to my mind and then at once they all vanished,

Today SayHeyToMe is having only 9 users, But i still dont care about because i do all my projects only for learning and to be honest i learnt the whole aws,mongodb,golang for just this project.

Thanks,
Regards.
