I used to think learning new dev skills required a quiet desk, long uninterrupted blocks, and a brain that was not busy tracking who just asked for water again. Then I became a parent to two kids under 5. The calendar did not clear. The house did not get quieter. The desire to learn stuck around.
What does "fullstack" actually mean? What is a database? What does an API do? I built aimen.dev and I'm going to explain how every piece works in plain language.
aimen.dev a production fullstack blog I built from scratch — Next.js, PostgreSQL, auth, reactions, comments, search, and a custom domain. Here's an honest account of what went into it and how I got there.
