My own corner on the internet

For a long time, I wanted to have a place on the Internet that would be really mine.

Not another profile on social media, not an account on a platform that can change the rules overnight, but my own space over which I have full control.

I remember since I was a kid I enjoyed creating things on the internet. I once had my own page on wixsite and I even put it somewhere on Facebook, ofc wix it was a kind of creator where you connected the blocks and the page came out haha, in general this site was mega cringe and unprofessional but it always starts somewhere.

I've been planning to make a decent website for a long time, but somehow I didn't have time for it and I had a lot of other projects on my mind.

At the beginning, it was just supposed to be a simple website with a few links to my projects and Ala linkstree's social media. I thought I'd start a blog now

Why your own website? Social media is cool for posting short things, but everything quickly disappears there. On my own website, I can collect in one place the things I create and that actually mean something to me. I can also make it exactly the way I want. No ready-made template, no platform limitations, and no wondering if a feature exists on a particular social network. If I need something, I can just write it. Why do I need a blog? For me, a blog is a bit of a combination of a devlog, a notebook and a place to document what I do. I want to post here, among others: things related to programming, development of my projects, API and AI experiments, e-commerce and marketing, things I've learned while building my own apps, sometimes just looser thoughts. I don't want to make this a typical "professional technology blog". I'm more interested in being able to come here in a few years and see what I was doing back then, what I was learning and how my projects were developing. Building your place Perhaps the coolest thing is that this page never has to be finished. I can constantly add new features, change the design, improve the code, and experiment with new technologies. A bit like your own little piece of the internet. And that's why I treat refil.cc not only as a portfolio. It's just my own corner on the internet.
