directus.io

The original plan was to create a new app from scratch - ideally in golang. Today this idea was killed. It is just to much effort to get started. The new plan involves a component called directus. It is a headless cms and makes it super easy to setup an individual data structure. Out of the box it implements apis for rest and graphql. So the plan is to use this setup as long as possible and put the main focus on the frontend written in NextJs. If the complexity of the project requires it, to program the backend with its own application we will do it, but until then Directus will help us out - hopefully.

For those who are interested: go to directus.home-of-rugby.com.

And an example of a potential api endpoint https://directus.home-of-rugby.com/items/game

NextJS

Speaking of the frontend: Since the setup of the backend - using directus.io - is so easy and fast, the frontend got some work done. Actually it was started from scratch. But nothing to show yet.

Thats it for the day. Good start. See ya next time.
