blog posts
Recently, I re-created this blog site, yokolet’s notelets, from scratch. Still, it is made by Jekyll like it was, but now, CSS styles are defined by Tailwind CSS. This blog post is about what I did to build the website.
Ruby on Rails is famous for offering really various features which are helpful to create a web application. Among those, little known API might be the low level caching API.
The previous two blog posts introduced WebSocket and how to implement a WebSocket application on Ruby on Rails. This blog post digs deeper. It is a memo on creating a more realistic application by Action Cable.

Vue.js is one of frontend frameworks gaining popularity among rapidly emerging JavaScript technologies. The combination of Vue.js and Rails is becoming more popular as well, however, Vue.js development on Rails is not so straightforward. The reason would be that Vue.js relies on Vite for a development environment such as HMR (Hot Module Replacement) and bundling.
In the frontend world, new technologies keep emerging rapidly these years. Still, React is a well-established and very popular frontend framework, Vue.js, Svelte, Astro and more frameworks are gaining popularity. Not just the frameworks, tools for a transpiler/bundler or sort are also under a rapid development. In JavaScript domain, esbuild, rollup, vite and some more are out.

For example, API keys, tokens, passwords, and endpoints, all those should be kept secret. Another important factor is that such secrets should be shared among the team members. Additionally, all those secrets should come along with the deployment.
