Title: Stdout
Stdout is a simple blogging platform built using Node.js, Express, EJS, and PostgreSQL. It began as a basic message board where users could leave short text posts, but it's evolving into a minimal, personal blogging system. Each post includes a title, the main content, a timestamp, and a randomly assigned emoji acting as a temporary profile picture. Posts are linked to users through a proper relational database schema using UUIDs, with the backend serving dynamic EJS-rendered views. The project uses PostgreSQL for data storage and is deployed using Railway with Nixpacks. Though it's still in early stages, the foundation is solid and ready for more features like authentication, image uploads, and markdown formatting. MessageBoard was built to be simple, fast to use, and easy to iterate on — ideal for learning fullstack development and gradually adding more functionality over time.
