Hello, World!

Hello everyone!!! 👋 My name is Marco Molossi and this is my first post. With this post I wanted to set some goals and clarify what I will focus on and what this blog will be for.

Why did I decide to write posts?

I am currently in the fifth year of high school 🏫 and to understand why I started we have to go back in time ⏰ a few months. In school they make us do different projects and one of them is to create our own portfolio. I initially made a proposal using WordPress, the tool they taught us, however, I was not satisfied 😞 with the result. Since I am passionate about computer science 💻 the question arises: why not create one myself from scratch? I discarded this idea almost immediately because I don't have enough experience in web development and honestly I want to focus on creating software/videogames, my main passion 🔥. So I started researching and came across Zola. I needed a tool that would give me enough freedom to show what I wanted and Zola gives me that in an extremely simple way, which was a very important requirement 📌 since I want to focus more on my main passion. After testing and creating sites to familiarize myself with it, I decided to rely on a theme 🦆 to make things even simpler.

So is this a project intended exclusively for schools?

The answer is no. For a long time already I wanted to create my own site to publish what I do, but until recently I wasn't interested in showing it to the world. Instead, now I now want to turn my passion into a job 💼, so it is essential to have a place where I can show what I work on, what I have worked on, or what I will work on. This need also stems from some personal experiences. A few months ago, for example, I met some people 👥 and I wanted to show them some personal projects 🌱 but having nowhere except Itch.io, I could not show them anything 😞.

What will happen then on this site?

First, this site will allow me to show myself to the world 🌍, so I will certainly post personal projects 🌱, in the projects section. Also, in the blog I would like to cover topics close to my passions, so things mainly related to computing 💻, but also productivity 🌳, or video games 🎮. With high probability there will also be tutorials of any topic, either to have them as a personal archive 🗃, or to share them.

Programming and Godot

First there will be content related to programming and Godot, an open-source game engine. My adventure with this software started at Christmas 2023, more precisely on December 27, with version 4.2.1 and it was really love at first sight. I was already creating video games a few years 🕙 ago, not really seriously, however Godot completely changed the way I approached 🧠 the indie world of game creation.

Productivity and Obsidian

In 2020 I started approaching the world of productivity with Obsidian, a program for creating notes 📰 locally. This daily habit in creating notes is essential for me and so I would love to share it 🔗 with other people.

Anything else interesting

As other content, I would like to simply bring anything interesting into the world and have other people discover it.

Maybe I've found a program 💻 that few people know about but it's very useful, or a plugin 🧩 on a program, or maybe even a research 📰 on a topic. It doesn't matter what, as long as it's interesting and worth sharing 🔗.

And that's all...

This is all I want to show and share on this site. Thank you for reading this far.
