To clear up some confusion with the naming: Legendword Blog (sometimes shortened as WordBlog) now refers to the open-source blogging platform built with Quasar (GitHub, Web App). The platform that this article is hosted (https://legendword.com/blog) can be referred to as Legendword Personal Blog from now on.

You can learn all about the new platform on the GitHub repo page. In short, it is a blogging system that can host posts from different authors. Users can register and become authors on the platform and create content of their own. Others can view, comment, and add their posts to collections. It provides the tools for both writers and readers. I will also be posting my own blog content on this platform along with developing the platform. The front-end uses the Quasar framework. It's an awesome framework for developing SPA, PWA, Electron, and Capacitor apps altogether and follows Material Design guidelines. All of the source code is available on GitHub. Back-end currently uses PHP and MySQL (the old formula). I will most likely change to other more modern solutions as functions like SSR and Full-Text Indexing require environments like Node.js.

Why Stop Using This Blog?

First of all, this is also a blogging system developed by myself, but it uses older frameworks and is not open-source. It also only hosts my own blogs. The system for creating new posts is not optimized, as there is no incentive to do so for something which only I would use. It does not even use Markdown, which means I have to manually type HTML every time I write a blog. The comment section only allows sending a message to the author (which is me). The tags are useless: you can't browse articles by tags, or search tags. All of this means this system is outdated and the new WordBlog is more advanced.

The articles here will remain. You can still access them. But be sure to check out the new Legendword Blog!
