This has been a fun blend of coding, AI assistance, and problem-solving. If you're into web dev, content creation, or building your own tools, I'd love to hear your thoughts or similar experiences! Let's connect. 👇

- All images from blog posts centralized in a single image gallery
- Multiple views for content organization: Table, Kanban, and Calendar

Upcoming features:
- Built-in scheduling for LinkedIn and X posts to streamline social sharing
- Integration with AI tools for generating first draft ideas

- Notion-style editor to draft blogs with rich formatting
- Quick thoughts capture for instant idea jotting

Key features live now:
- CMS for blogs and upcoming content in Advanced Web Dev
- Scheduling blog posts to keep the flow consistent
- Admin panel for easy website management (e.g., updating the About page)
- Thumbnail upload for blog posts

Database: PostgreSQL for reliable data handling
Deployment: Hosted on Google Cloud Platform for seamless scaling

The goal: Create a seamless platform I can iterate on until it covers every use case, and eventually open-source it for the community.

Tech stack keeping it robust and modern:
Frontend: React + Vite for a snappy UI
Backend: Node.js with MERN elements for scalability

The process? I started by crafting a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD) to outline all features, then fed that context into the AIs to kickstart development.

Instead of migrating elsewhere, I decided to build my own Admin + CMS from scratch, with a little help from AI tools like Claude and Cursor.

I got tired of juggling multiple platforms for managing my "Advanced Web Dev" initiative – a passion project aimed at making free courses and tutorials accessible to everyone (starting with my YouTube channel, and expanding soon!).
