I’m NateDhaliwal. I’m starting this blog today! Allow me to introduce myself.

I used to be an avid Replit user. Replit is a cloud-based IDE. After shutting down Replit Ask (their support forum), I lost my interest with in and now code in CodeSandbox or local dev.

The Replit support forum was made using Discourse, an amazing 100% open-source and free forum software. They are very popular, and have pretty big companies as their customers. You can self-host your forum or host it with them (for a price).
I love Discourse and am a huge fan, so I’m building customizations like Theme Components and Themes. I enjoy the challenge, and since their codename is HUGE, I learn something new everyday.

I am a Python full-stack web developer. I know Python, HTML, CSS and JS. I’m currently learning SQL, to help manage databases more effectively.

I hope to upkeep this blog to continue posting blog posts. Perhaps not like Jeff Atwood, with his incredibly popular blog, codinghorror, but at least to some degree 😉.
