Why I started this?

By Bolun Dai | Jan 1st 2021

For those who might come across this site, here is a statement of why it exists. I sometimes find it hard to think about anything other than research, and it really took a toll on me. Magically, I came across a lecture on Coursera about web design, and I found myself in deep regret for not looking into it earlier. Why did I not start building websites 10 years ago! I was always amazed by the beautiful websites online, and now I am trying to build my own.

Another reason is that I need a place to keep some notes about my research and about coursework, so that I can review them as needed. I used to just write notes in Overleaf; however, it was not the easiest to navigate, and it would usually take me minutes to find something. It also does not look that good. The bonus is that I can now easily share my notes with those who are in need.
