Switched to VCS Instead of the Crappy UI of DEV.to

How this Started?

I initially wrote a post on DEV.to a couple of days ago (2026.08.17). Then today (2026.08.21) I edited it. But then DEV.to jumbled it up.

Solution

I asked Deepseek about what I can do, it suggested to using Wordpress, or Ghost. But when I asked it that even those platforms are 3rd part solutions and I might end up seeing the same thing. So I asked it how can I utilize git and VCS instead. Then it said to me about gitops for blogging approach. Then when I googled it I found this post: https://dev.to/kanywst/hello-world-managing-devto-articles-with-gitops-5594

So kudos to kanywst.

You can see how the repo looked like when I started it here:

Just to be clear. This was so frustrating that I almost gave up on the idea of fixing the jumbled up post since it was too much labor 😑.
