Another week almost gone and another hare-brained project for myself: ANOTHER site revamp.

After the struggles of Changing the Backend just a few months ago, I thought... you know what? All of that work doesn't matter, I'm overcomplicating this whole damn website nonsense.

So, welcome to another new backend!

The biggest reason for the change: having to remember which folder I needed to place what in order for the right site to work. Also because the existing templates had turned into if/then spaghetti. And honestly? It seemed silly to maintain multiple "sites" in the backend and force users to different endpoints if they wanted different content. It must be exhausting to live a double life!

It got even more frustrating while trying to implement the infrastructure for a new type of project I'm working on (that I can't wait to let loose into the wild). Once I pulled at the stray thread, it was very apparent I needed to change the pattern.

But, with the new backend comes a much-needed facelift. So, I hope you enjoy what to you is essentially just a new coat of paint. :)

I know, I know, I said just a few days ago I was going to start working on AI Ant Farm's UI before pushing it to V1. And I know, I KNOW, I mentioned a Village Sim a month or so ago. And don't remind me I keep bringing up that damned short story...

The plan is to return to working on AAF next week while I wait on prototypes of the new projects to arrive...

What'd you get done this week? Even if all it was was reading this post—know that you're appreciated!
