Introduction#
Hello everyone,
How are you? Welcome to my blog. In this post, I will talk about Futtun’s progress update, from Friday 26 December 2025 to today, Sunday 4 January 2026. It is more than a week because I just started the project, and did not have enough to talk about on Sunday 28 December 2025.
Getting used to React#
It is my first time starting a project with React. At a previous job, we did have a React codebase (among others), but it was considered legacy, and I did not get to do much in it.
I have spent the past 10 days getting used to React, and writing code to integrate all the various libraries I need. I spent years working with a batteries included framework, and I forgot how much effort goes into integrating separate libraries.
Building the homepage#
The first task I chose is building the homepage. I have made good progress, and I am considering an early launch with just this, to get Futtun on the map.
If I decide to do this, I will need to provide a road-map, so people can see the vision. Having just a text input in a form that that shows a message upon submission has limited utility.
Conclusion#
Thank you for your time, and I hope to see you again soon. Bye bye.
