I decided that it was time to give randomanime.org an update. I’ve patched together updates over the years, but have never done a complete overhaul. For example, did you know the “api” portion of the site is PHP code that I wrote over five years ago?
Whenever I updated the site, it was usually a UI update. JQuery to AngularJS, AngularJS to Vue, Vue to Nuxt. This time, I’m restructuring the entire project. Database, data scripts, backend, frontend. All of it.
The problem is.. I’m a parent of 2 and work full-time. So, as you can imagine, progress is slow. That’s fine, though. The site itself is in a good spot, I just need to keep up to date on data.
So.. let’s dive in!
