After a really long time I finally managed to spend some time redesigning and moving my blog to another platform, everyone already know that [I tried really hard](https://gitlab.com/fmartingr/fmartingr.com/blob/master/fmartingrcom/themes/v1/templates/blog/entry.jinja#L67) to create an editor that satisfied me while the answer was simpler.
<!--more-->
I like to *reinvent the wheel* (~~I don't even know if that expression exists or it's said like that in English, let me know!~~ [Apparently yes](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=reinvent%20the%20wheel)) but this time I got really far... like years far: I stopped writting because I did not find any editor confortable to the point [I created my own blog application](https://gitlab.com/fmartingr/fmartingr.com) without success. This madness has to stop, there has to be something already there for me.
After trying almost every blog and static content generator out there I stumbled upon [https://www.getlektor.com](Lektor), a simple but really powerful static site generator that almost completely fit my needs.
After trying it a bit, I migrated the new theme I was making [in a refactor of my old site to Flask](https://gitlab.com/fmartingr/fmartingr.com/tree/v3) (*yikes!*) and recreated the same site structure to do a final test.
I liked it.
*But why?* you may ask... *Lektor's editor is worst that the one you made*.
And you are right, Lektor's editor is just a `textarea`, but you forget one thing: **all the content are plain text files that I can edit with whatever I want**.
Having this flexibility is awesome, most of the content of the site [is edited in either Emacs or Atom](/made-with-open-source). Even if it was tricky at first because Lektor creates all the content in the same path [I managed a -I'm sure overengineered- way](https://github.com/fmartingr/fmartingr-lektor/tree/master/content) to sort the files the way I wanted. Will improve it in the future when I know more about Lektor's internals.
The theme also reflects the change I've been noticing in the past year: I want simplicity, so the site is as simple as it gets.
Just a few colors, no CSS frameworks (only a simple grid) and everything is made up from scratch. It still needs a little enhancements but it wont get much further. Also I'm sure I left a few stuff broken when I migrated all the blog entries but everything will be fixed with time.
I hope this gives me more time and motivation to keep writing. There are a few old drafts from tools that I'm going to finish up, and... well, more stuff that will be shared with you in future posts. :)
P.S.: I do not forget that I owe you the conclusion of [the penguin trials](/blog/2016/04/11/penguin-trials/) too!

Sadly, over time, my programming time at work is becoming less frequent. Doesn’t mean I don’t do stuff it’s just little by little most my time is spent on management things. Since I don’t want to get stalled and to give myself focus into other things I got last week off to see whatever I was capable of making. To my surprise it was time well spent.
<!--more-->
> Side effect: instead of five or six days it was down to four or less cause you know, everyone is busy these days ;)
So, what did I do?
## Used Lektor to build this site
[This site on github](https://github.com/fmartingr/fmartingr-lektor)
I finally managed to rebuild my site from scratch with [lektor](https://www.getlektor.com). Already wrote about this [in a previous post](/blog/2016/12/21/new-site/).
Summary:
- :arrow_up_small: Read other people's code, which is nice.
- :arrow_up_small: Made some goodies with Make, Gulp and Bash to automate stuff.
- :arrow_up_small: Discovered that ARM servers are ~~not so~~ fun.
- :arrow_down_small: It wasn't coding.
## Natif
[Natif on github](https://github.com/fmartingr/natif)
Simple app to use a website as a desktop application.
I wanted to do something with [electron](https://electron.atom.io) for some time now and since I use some webapps that I wanted outside of my browser this was a simple yet powerful ally for me.
I wanted it mostly to create a *Netflix app* because my main browser is Firefox and Netflix isn't working on it but [I came into *trouble* when trying it out](https://github.com/fmartingr/natif/issues/1).
Summary:
- :arrow_up_small: Tried electron.
- :arrow_up_small: Simple code, good results.
- :arrow_down_small: Widevine.
- :arrow_down_small: Packaging automation on release for every operating system without a decent server will force me to use jenkins, and I don't want to.
## SymbolDoc
[Symboldoc on github](https://github.com/fmartingr/symboldoc)
Print a simple docstring based on a given python module and a symbol name.
I wanted to use [abtract syntax trees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree) for something thinking it was more difficult than it really were, and it came to a simple script that print a docstring for a symbol that also could be easily integrated into my emacs setup, forcing me to document my projects more.
Summary:
- :arrow_up_small: Used AST!
- :arrow_up_small: Made tests.
- :arrow_down_small: Understanding the AST wasn't as difficult as I expected.
## Nout
[Nout on github](https://github.com/fmartingr/nout)
Maybe in the future a note taking app.
After trying almost every note taking app out there mine are just files on a `Notes` folder written in markdown syntax. Thinking about what I needed, it came just to a couple features, so I thought that creating an index of my notes in a sqlite database would be enough. Parsing files to normalize the information and using simple queries to look up for the data.
Right now I only made the file watcher and the database storage, there's a pull request on the works with some tests. It's not usable yet.
Summary:
- :arrow_up_small: Forgot how fun was working with multithreading.
- :arrow_up_small: Getting the mindset to start bigger projects.
- :arrow_up_small: Now I know that [fnmatch](https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/fnmatch.html) exists.
- :arrow_down_small: Got the feeling that the components are not as modular as they should be.
- :arrow_down_small: Not enough testing, solving it now.
- :arrow_down_small: Not documented, but time was scarce.
## Other stuff
Other things I did:
- Started reading [the pragmatic programmer](https://pragprog.com/book/tpp/the-pragmatic-programmer) and started to feel that it was money really well invested. **Highly recommended to every developer out there**. (Thank you [@RusEu](https://github.com/RusEu) and [@MiguelGR](https://github.com/miguelgr))
- Made a few Pull Requests to [i3pystatus](https://github.com/enkore/i3pystatus). Minor things but it felt rewarding.
- Made [a simple plugin for lektor](https://github.com/fmartingr/fmartingr-lektor/tree/master/packages/emojify). Not published yet.
- Built a list of stuff to automate my laptop provisioning with Ansible even more.
- Tuned a little bit more my i3 configuration.
- Found out tools like codecov, scrutinizer and gemnasium.
- Learn things about open source projects (guidelines, contribution, CI, ...).
- Moved my site from a custom server to [Firebase](https://www.firebase.com).
Things I miss:
- Doing something in another programming language. Not so long ago [I tried golang](https://github.com/fmartingr/goshare) and I got the feeling that I should have invested more time in this or a new one.
- Lack of documentation but you know, when there's not enough time...
- Focus on unit testing more than I did.
- Related with the above, should have tried to use [TDD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development) or another different development process.
- Not having a boilerplate to create projects and its integrations and base file tree, spent a lot of time doing it. It's silly because you're not creating tons of projects in a short period of time but it's a task that could be automated somehow.
Overall it felt really rewarding. I encourage everyone to get some time off to create new stuff, maintain your projects, create that tool you always wanted, research about that subject you read so long ago, etc.
I don't know when but I will surely repeat this.
