Proseful

Thanks @nicoglennon! ☺️ It took about 10 months. A couple months were spent pivoting to a headless platform and then back to the original idea. The backend is a Phoenix app running on AWS. I have an OpenResty reverse proxy that's handling SSL termination for custom domains. The frontend is Redux and React. Using GraphQL to communicate between the frontend and backend. The content editor is built on the lovely ProseMirror. So glad you like it! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have more questions, stack or otherwise, or run into issues. Cheers!

Hey @dewayneroyj, awesome that you think so! Data is stored in an AWS RDS Postgres database w/ read replica. Automated backups are performed daily and retained for 30 days. Database deletion protection is enabled to help mitigate any brain fart moments. EDIT: It's actually multi-AZ replication that I'm using; haven't needed a read replica yet. I'll be looking into some form of additional automated backup to S3 in a different region (and possibly account) for disaster recovery and help protect against maliciousness. Haven't seen much discussion on this sort of thing though, so open to hearing what others are doing here. For user control of data, I plan on adding revision history to the content editor. And the ability to export your data; that's key too. Cheers!

@jonathansutherland Thanks! Do you have any plans to allow users to create an "About" page on the Proseful platform?

@dewayneroyj For sure. That's something I'd like to have for my personal blog too. This can sorta be done today, by publishing an "About" post and adding a navigation link to it... though it would appear in your list of posts, so not ideal. Thinking I could add a setting to make a post "hidden" or "static", so that once published, it doesn't appear in your list of posts, but can still be reached. Thoughts?

@jonathansutherland That sounds good. Don't know how many people want an About page but if a-lot, you can also create a page for "About Me" with a text box that ppl could type into.

@iamjmw Thanks for checking it out! 🙏 Hopefully it'll be useful to you. If you encounter issues or anything else, please feel free to drop me a line. 🍺
