Today, the re-implementation of my APIs in Rust and the “rewrite” of my blog in hugo were both deployed.
Also, I decided to discontinue https://gitlab.com/lippertsjan/MensaUPB because I don’t have the time to maintain it anymore and there are better maintained alternatives.
Nearly ten years ago, I migrated this blog from Wordpress to Jekyll. Today I started the migration to hugo because I was unable to get working build for my page locally. since hugo is a single binary I can download and execute, getting a working local build is less of a problem.
My two Android apps Metal Only and MensaUPB require some kind of online service to get their data from and - since I cannot force users to update apps easily - I wrote my own API as a wrapper to the upstream APIs provided by https://www.metal-only.de/ and https://studierendenwerk-pb.de/. That way, whenever one of these pages changes their API, I can just adapt the wrapper and keep my own API backwards-compatible so the apps themselves don’t require any updates.
