Random Rules

Full Stack Development

Dot Dash | 2022

Background

Random Rules was a curated blog and newsletter for news in the world of Web3. This was an internal project within Dot Dash to share interesting news within the world of Web3 and to position Dot Dash as an expert in the emerging space. For me, this was an exciting project as I was able to lead the projects architecture and development. Along with myself, the team consisted of 3 other designers and developers.

The site is powered by an Express backend that server renders views using Pug templates. For UI elements that need some extra client side functionality, we sprinkled in Vue. Content is managed in DatoCMS. User authentication uses JWTs and stores user data in a postgres database. We created our own MVC architecture using Sequelize.
