My experience with Wisp.blog - part 1

While working on a client's website I just finished implementing a blog in Storyblok. It took some time to set up the right content type and create to frontend components. To facilitate searching and filtering of the posts I added all the articles to an index in Algolia.

This all worked great! With a bit of effort, all basic blogging features were available to my client.

Then, by pure chance, I came across wisp.blog, a dedicated blogging platform for headless websites. This did peak my curiosity, would it be an improvement over Storyblok, where everything needs to be manually defined, to use a separate solution for blogging?

Creating my own blog

I never had any experience blogging, but was curious to see how that would work. So the next logical step would be to implement a Wisp blog. But to implement a blog, and test all the features, I first need a blog.

Now just the big question, what should I blog about?

I decided to start blogging about my experiences building a blog. It might not be interesting, but it's a start. Having a place to document my experience is also a plus.

The next steps

Having a place to write blog posts is just the start, next up I have to actually develop the site that will host my blog. Luckily I recently already started on developing this website without a clear goal in mind. So the basic scaffolding is done already. Next up is the actual implementation of Wisp, and my experiences with that will be in part 2.
