My New Website Revamped | How

 Hello everyone,

I wanted to let everyone know that my website at https://jonathanuniverse.com/ has been revamped. Previously, it has been designed mainly by PHP. Using PHP wasn't efficient for my website to run properly, so I switched from PHP over to React. I still use PHP as my backend for things such as my API for displaying content. However, besides that, it is now completely in React. This switch will also help improve it on the client side by minifying JavaScript and CSS upon building it. This also combines all my JS files as well.

Besides that, I have set up an entire infrastructure using Ubuntu Server to help with scalability of my website. Which is a huge improvement from the setup I had previously. I did make a lot of other massive changes besides that to make things a lot more flexible and dynamic. 

There is still a lot of work that needs to be done that I want to finish. Such as adding skeleton loaders to the dropdown menus content, improve the contact form, and finally add that QR Code Scanner to help make my site a lot more interactive.

Anyways, that's all the updates I have for today. I know a bit boring and I probably already lost you but if I didn't, comment below.

Discontinuation of VariableX

 Hello everyone, 

I am discontinuing my language VariableX. The primary reason is for the fact that similar formats of a=b already exists in other applications. Plus, using JSON works a lot better than using a=b since it brings more flexibility and more scalability to my websites and apps than a simple key and value pair.

It was fun designing it and it gave me good practice in programming. I could've improved further on the application; however, at a point, it would be too much and may cause performance issues, especially since JSON works and everything is already there.

So, I apologize for the short blog post on this but I just wanted to let you all know what was going on with VariableX since I initially made a post about it back in 2022

Thanks for reading,
Jonathan
