Encyclopedia Update Log

Collecting and documenting the tools publicly shared by the Science Maker community over the years, and turning them into a comprehensive Science Maker Tool Encyclopedia, has always been something I've wanted to do — to help those interested in learning how to use these tools.

In 2022, I chose Blogger as the initial platform for recording this project. I had to overcome various technical challenges along the way, but fortunately, all of them were resolved smoothly. This page was created to document that journey.

Due to the large amount of content, I built this archive through a simple routine: 'write a little each day and take a photo whenever I could.' As a result, updates come slowly but steadily, and I plan to keep expanding it.

After becoming a software engineer, I've long wanted to migrate the blog to a self-hosted website. I finally got the chance in 2025 — starting the build on April 7 and officially deploying the site by the end of April. The content is now gradually being moved here.
