Catalog Update Log

Collecting and documenting the tools used by Science Makers over the years to create a Science Maker Tool Catalog, helping those who want to learn how to use these tools has always been something I've wanted to do.

In 2022, I chose Blogger as the starting point for recording, which required continuously overcoming various technical challenges. Fortunately, all these issues have been resolved so far. I wanted to document this process, leading to the initial version of this page.

Due to the large volume of data, all content was created incrementally—writing a bit of text each day and taking a photo whenever possible. As a result, updates are not frequent but will continue.

After becoming a software engineer, I always wanted to convert my blog into a self-hosted website. Finally, in 2025, I had the opportunity to make this happen. I started building it on April 7, 2025, and officially deployed it by the end of April. Subsequently, I gradually migrated the content here.
