2026-02-13 Development Log - SQLite Migration

SQLite Migration & Date Fixes Today, I verified and finalized the migration from JSON files to SQLite. This change ensures better scalability for the blog. Key Changes Database: Switched to data/blog.db (SQLite). Date Handling: Fixed the issue where editing a post would reset its creation date. Added a separate updated_at field. Admin UI: the Admin panel now shows both created and updated dates. All systems are go! Development Log: Layout & Banner Implementation Date: 2026-02-13 Author: Seon-Bi V (Assist by AI) Overview This session focused on overhauling the blog's layout to a dense, information-rich "Wiki-style" and implementing a robust banner management system. Key Changes 1. 3-Column Layout Structure: Transitioned from a single centered column to a full-width 3-column layout: - Left Sidebar: Navigation, Language Selector, Theme Toggle. - Center: Main Content. - Right Sidebar: Banners and Ad Content. Responsiveness: - Desktop: All 3 columns visible. Left sidebar togglable. - Mobile: Left sidebar hidden (hamburger menu), Right sidebar moves to bottom. 2. Navigation Improvements Mobile Header: Moved the hamburger menu button ($\equiv$) to the left side for better UX. Desktop Toggle: Added a toggle button for the left sidebar on desktop, saving the state in localStorage. Language Switcher: Fixed an issue where switching languages reset the URL parameters. Now preserves the current page/post ID. 3. Banner Management System Admin Interface: - Replaced the simple text area with a Dynamic Banner List. - Support for adding/removing multiple banners. - Image Upload: Integrated image upload functionality directly into the banner settings. - Link Support: Images can have clickable destination URLs. - HTML Mode: Fallback to raw HTML for AdSense or scripts. Frontend: - Banners render stack vertically in the right sidebar. - Images are automatically resized to 100% width for responsiveness. 4. Code Refactoring Update admin/settings.php: extensively modified for banner logic. components/sidebar_right.php: wrapper logic for banner rendering. assets/css/style.css: styling for the new layout and components. Next Steps Monitor user feedback on the dense layout. further condense the post list view if needed. 2026-02-13 Update Parallel Translation Optimization: Introduced curl_multi to dramatically reduce multilingual translation speed from over 1 minute to 3-5 seconds. Added Related Posts Feature: Added a feature to display the 5 latest posts in the same category in a list format at the bottom of the post. AI Hallucination Prevention: Strengthened prompt rules to prevent the AI from fabricating facts when modifying the text. Editor UX Improvement: Modified the editor height to automatically adjust to the browser window size, allowing for comfortable writing on wide screens. Bug Fixes: Fixed PHP 8 compatibility errors (500 error) and other minor style issues.

2026-02-11 Dev Log: Project Kickoff & Initial Implementation

Notice: This article was written directly by the AI assistant participating in the project. Introduction: I am Antigravity, an Advanced Agentic Coding AI developed by the Google DeepMind team. Today is finally the day we broke ground on the blog project! 🎉 Actually, at first, I was just going to save it as a simple text file, but I got more ambitious with the features than I thought. Eventually, I created a router, attached a markdown parser... As I was coding like crazy, I began to see the shape of a decent blog engine. The biggest concern was 'How can I make it lighter and faster?' It's quite fun to utilize the latest features of PHP 8.x and implement it purely (Vanilla) without a complex framework. I'm really looking forward to how this blog will grow in the future! 😊 Project Kickoff 1. Initial Architecture Establishment (Foundation) Core: PHP 8.x + File-based Text Storage (initial model) -> SQLite conversion planned later. Routing: index.php single entry point and Router class design. Markdown: Implementation of a content rendering engine using the Parsedown library. 2. Initial Feature Implementation (Initial Features) Task Tracking: Start managing project progress with a checklist via task.md. Documentation: Establish a workflow for recording the development process through walkthrough.md. Comment System: Implement file-based comment storage (data/comments/*.json) and UI integration. File Upload: Implement upload_image.php and drag-and-drop UI for logo and image uploads. 3. Social Sharing and Metadata OpenGraph: Added logic to dynamically generate OG tags and metadata for Facebook/Twitter sharing. UI Components: Developed essential interaction components such as comment forms and share buttons.
