Good morning, and welcome to my weekly DevLog! This week, my main accomplishments were adding search functionality to my website, and getting authentication working on the FarmCraft web portal.

Get Started with Algolia
Not long after getting my site set up, I decided that I wanted to have an easy way to search for things, especially considering that the site serves as my knowledge base for tech-related topics.

DevLog #2
Good morning, and welcome to my second DevLog! This week I spent time building FarmCraft.Community and started work to add a search component to my site.

DevLog #1 - FarmCraft
Last week I introduced the proof of concept for my FarmCraft project. As an extension to that, I thought I'd start a developer log in relation to the work that I'm doing and have completed.
Projects
FarmCraft - An Agriculture SaaS PoC
I've been interested in agriculture and IoT for quite some time now. In fact, I've messed with different variations of this project several times over the past couple years. I started to build a web app to manage crops, inventory, and other aspects of a small farm or garden.
Programming
Using JSEncrypt with SSR
Recently, I added jsencrypt to my website to protect names and emails prior to sending them off to an api. Unfortunately, my site is built with Docusaurus, which utilizes server side rendering.
Technology
Adding Material UI to Docusaurus
One great thing about Docusaurus, is it's built with React. That means I can use any other npm packages that would normally be used in a react app when building out my documentation / blog.
Technology
Building a Flutter Web Container
A couple years ago, I was doing a lot of flutter development and ended up writing a blog post about how to containerize a flutter web app. Unfortunately, I was hosting my site with squarespace at the time, and no longer have access to any of the blog posts I made.
Technology
Adding Comments to Docusaurus Blogs
The features that docusaurus comes with out of the box are great, but there's one piece that's missing, especially for a blog - comments.
Projects
Introducing KLog
I'd like take a few minutes this morning and introduce my first open source project, KLog. My goal with KLog is to create a central, easy to install, developer focused logging platform
Opinion
My First eBike
I've always had an interest in bikes, and would love to take one on a multi-day trip. Grab some bags, jump on, and disappear into the woods for a day or two camping and exploring.
Programming
Setting up GitHub
Today, I thought I'd talk a little bit about how I decided to setup my GitHub account and manage my work.
