📝 BLOGGO

Bloggo is a simple blogging platform built with Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL. It's designed to be minimal, distraction-free, and easy to use—whether you're journaling, sharing ideas, or just playing around with web development.

📌 Project Description

The goal of this capstone project is to create a fully functional blog web app that demonstrates fundamental web development skills using Node.js and Express.js for the backend and EJS for the templating engine. The application does use a database in this version — all blog posts are saved to a database while the server is running.

This project is inspired by the style and layout of Paul Graham's articles.

Features

• Clean and minimal blogging experience
• Create, read, and delete blog posts
• PostgreSQL-powered backend
• Built from scratch by a solo dev (hi, I'm Sean!)

Notes from the Developer

It’s my first real full-stack web app, and I’m actively improving it as I learn more. Feel free to explore, give feedback, or fork it for your own projects.

Thanks for checking it out!
