Behind the Scenes of CalorieStar
caloriestar.com is a private website – a short history of CalorieStar can be found here.
The thinking, building and experiments behind CalorieStar.
CalorieStar Blueprints is where I share some of what goes on behind the scenes while building and running the platform.
That includes the technical decisions, infrastructure, data, experiments, mistakes and small tools that come out of solving real problems along the way.
These aren't polished corporate case studies. They're practical accounts of what I was trying to achieve, the options I considered, what I chose, and what I learned from it.
Sometimes the result is specific to CalorieStar. Sometimes, as with the VPS comparison tool, something I build for myself turns out to be useful to others too.
If you're interested in how CalorieStar is being built, the technology behind it, or the decisions involved in running a growing web platform, this is where I'll document it.
