- Developed a robust and scalable server-side rendered website to showcase and archive the various activities conducted as part of the Film Society of IITM, BS Program(s). The website is viewed by 4700+ unique visitors as of Feb 2024.
- The ‘backend’ for this website is Google Sheets, so a developer is not required to update and upload content on the website.
This was a project with interesting project I worked on. The people I was working with were not technically adept. So I had to devise creative ways to figure out a way to host a website with a backend while also maintaining a degree of ease. Additionally, I also wanted to host it using free resoruces. So the resultant website had to be static in nature.
Hugo proved to be a really nice SSR framework for this job. I used GSheets CSV download feature to dynamically fetch CSVs with Data and used it as a database while building the website. It was a unique set of challenges and constraints.
