lightDiary

This is a project mostly meant for my own learning. I decided to write something that would make use of various technologies, even though in this particular instance they may not make the most sense (such as a standalone postgres db instead of embedded sqlite), they accomplish their goal in allowing me to delve into these concepts.

lightDiary is a self-hosted diary web application that facilitates tracking thoughts, feelings, and whatever events might have occurred in your day. It sports a simple and intuitive web interface that does not clutter nor overwhelm.

The backend API of the application is written in Go (hence the name), while the frontend is written utilizing the Svelte JS javascript framework/compiler. Additionally I made use of the kyleconroy/sqlc utility to facilitate code generation for DB operations. Finally, I am utilizing postgreSQL for data storage.
