Encyclopedia Update Log

Collecting and recording Sci-Maker’s publicly shared tool information over the years and turning it into the Sci-Maker Tool Atlas—to help people who want to learn how to use the tools—has long been something I’ve wanted to do.

In 2022, I chose Blogger as the place to keep records and had to continuously overcome various technical issues. Fortunately, these have been properly resolved so far. I wanted to document the process, which became the prototype of this page.

Because the volume of data is large, all content is built by "writing a bit each day and taking a photo when I can," so updates are not fast—but they will continue.

After becoming a software engineer, I wanted to turn the blog into a self-hosted website. In 2025 I finally had the chance to make it happen: I started on April 7, 2025, and deployed at the end of April, then gradually migrated the content here.
