Wiertsite History

⫞ Sometime in 2018

This site and the whole Wiertareczka project started as a single HTML file. Simple css and Javascript was introduced.

⫞ Sometime in 2018

A few months later the file was put on a Raspberry Pi, on an Apache webserver.

⫞ Still year 2018

Then PHP and AJAX was introduced, which made the page dynamic.

⫞ Sometime in 2019

The next big step was switching to Python Flask. Database abstraction layer was added and an Admin login.

⫞ 2020-08-04

Frontend made in Flask was ditched in favor of React. The initial build presented only weather infromation from the old Flask backend API.

⫞ 2020-08-19

Switched to Flask RESTful for a proper backend. Added projects page with card components.

⫞ 2020-08-25

Added React Redux. History of Wiertsite is now visualised using this component. Switched to CSS modules for scoped per-component styling.

⫞ 2020-09-15

Flask RESTful backend - added connection to MySQL database. Added endpoints for accessing average, minimum and maximum weather data values from the last 2 hours. Divided weather history into tabs for graph and table data view.

⫞ 2020-10-10

JWT authentication endpoints added in the backend. Login page added on the front-end side. Average and extreme weather data stored in Redux store.

⫞ 2020-11-11

  • New: Added Redux Thunk allowing asynchronous actions.
  • New: Added dashboard accessible by logging in.
  • New: Added dev/prod variables via process.env.NODE_ENV to handle switching API URLs automatically.
  • Improved: Actions replaced with action creators.
  • Improved: Login / logout action handled by async actions.

⫞ 2022-09-22

Minimalism phase
  • Changed: Ditched React and Bootstrap in favor of Astro and Tailwind CSS
  • Removed: Javascript from frontend.
  • Changed: Styling is fully grayscale, also optimised for viewing inverted colors.
  • New: Automatic deployment with Gitlab CI/CD.



⫞ 2024-08-01

Small rebranding
  • Changed: Moved from grayscale to a warm beige color.
  • Changed: Simplified header, thus eliminating overflow on narrow screens.
