We are building this blog in public
Why RezScore now ships a public dev log, how the blog itself works, and what you can expect to find here.
This is the first entry in the RezScore dev log. It is a small section of our blog where we write short, honest notes about what we ship and what we learn building the product. The front page of the blog stays focused on career data and job-hunt research. This corner is for the curious: the people who want to see how the thing is made.
Why a dev log
Most of what we build never shows up in a polished post. A funnel gets fixed, a score gets more honest, an email finally sends to the right people. Individually none of it is a headline. Together it is the actual story of the product. Writing it down in public keeps us honest and gives anyone who cares a way to follow along.
How this blog works
The blog you are reading has no database and no CMS. Every post is a markdown file in a folder, and the site renders them directly. Publishing a post is a commit. That keeps the whole thing simple, fast, and easy to mirror somewhere public so the source is auditable.
A few things we care about, baked in:
- Speed. Images get sized and lazy-loaded automatically so pages do not jump around as they load, especially on phones.
- Discoverability. Every post carries the right metadata for search engines, so a good piece of research can actually be found.
- Honesty. Numbers in our public posts come from real data, and we re-check the prose against the final numbers before anything ships.
What you will find in the dev log
Short entries. A change we shipped, a bug that taught us something, a decision and the reason behind it. No internal dashboards, no customer details, no revenue tables. Just the build, in public.
If you want to follow along, the dev log has its own feed. Welcome.
