Building This Blog's Backend in .NET: Build-in-Public Log #1

Placeholder post. This article is a structural example for the solodev collection and will be replaced with a real build-in-public log entry.

This is the first entry in a build-in-public series following a real C#/.NET side project, end to end — architecture decisions, dead ends, and what actually shipped.

What the project is

(Placeholder — a real entry would describe the actual project: what problem it solves, the rough scope, and why it’s worth writing about.)

Why write this in public

  • Forces me to explain decisions clearly enough that someone else could follow them.
  • Creates a paper trail of what worked and what I’d do differently.
  • Ties tutorial content on this blog to something real, instead of toy examples.

First milestone

(Placeholder — a real entry would list concrete, checkable goals for the next post in the series, e.g. “minimal API skeleton with one working endpoint and a passing test suite.”)

What’s next

The next post in this series will pick up once the first milestone above is done.
