And Node.js is used as the runtime environment for the backend server. Additionally, Docker is used for containerization. It ensures that the application runs consistently in different environments. Caddy is used as a web server that provides easy configuration for serving static and dynamic content.

What is the story behind Crema To-Do?
I wanted to do my markdown blog project, which I left incomplete years ago, with a nicer design and better functionality this time, and I started working on the site from the end of January 2025. I wanted to improve my relatively weak backend development skills, and naturally I started doing it here first. Then, after doing the design in isolation (html, css, tailwindcss and simple javascript), I started adapting it to the frontend with React. I have completed the first version of the project in 2-3 weeks by working on it in my free time. My goal is to continue enhancing the application by adding more features and improving user experience in future iterations.
Do you have any plans for CremaBlog?
Yes, I have plans to enhance CremaBlog by adding more features and improving the user experience. Some of the features I plan to add include user profiles, enhanced search capabilities, add tag functionality for posts, add comments functionality, and integrations with social media.
