News and Info: April 2026

This project continues to serve as a learning tool for me while hopefully providing some usefulness.

I have rewritten the frontend using Next.js. I’ve been working with Drupal and PHP for many years so this is a new experience for me. Next.js is a combination of Node.js on the backend and React on the frontend and lots of magic to make it all work together. The language is TypeScript. Most of the backend is still happening in Drupal but I intend to move more of it into Next.js as time permits. A friend named Claude is providing some help along the way. 🙂

I’m sure it’s not perfect so let me know if you find any problems. I can put the old Drupal version back quickly if there are any showstoppers.

The code is still open source here. It is both an exciting and scary time to be web developer.
