Reviving the Craft: The Pure Vanilla Project – A Framework-Free SaaS Solution
In an era dominated by numerous frameworks and third-party libraries, I embarked on an ambitious journey to develop a SaaS application entirely from scratch—without relying on any external code dependencies.
What prompted this approach? Honestly, it was primarily driven by enjoyment and curiosity. I wanted to see if I could build a robust, functional system using only foundational tools, and I succeeded. While it might not seem entirely pragmatic, for me, the process was a rewarding challenge—an engaging hobby rather than a conventional project.
The result is a modular, sophisticated application that is thoughtfully architected for scalability and ease of extension. One of the highlights of this project is its self-documenting design, which ensures maintainability and clarity. It was truly satisfying to see all the pieces seamlessly come together at the end, reaffirming the value of a handcrafted, dependency-free approach.
This experience underscores that sometimes, stripping away the extraneous can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of software craftsmanship.
