This month, I took a more radical approach to reducing and updating my codebase.

I redesigned the blog list and single blog pages, along with the contact page, privacy policy, and terms and conditions page.

I also rewrote parts of the homepage, header, and footer, and added code structures to make future changes easier and more accessible.

In total, I managed to remove over 10,000 lines of code. Unfortunately, this didn’t lead to any significant performance improvements.

The biggest news this month is the release of “Beste Band der Welt” by ubahnpudding. This single marked my first experience as a sound engineer and producer for a punk band. The recording process came with many challenges, and almost nothing went as planned — but I’m very interested in working with them again, possibly on a future album.

I’ve already acquired about 80% of the necessary equipment and materials for an upcoming merch product that I’m designing and producing myself. Right now, I’d say a release at the end of summer is a realistic goal.
