This was the home of Bumperdo.
It started out as a way for me to keep my programming skills up to date (and learn about server management and other related skills in the process). I've been making websites since I was a kid, first as a pastime, then as a sidejob in college, but my dayjob did and does not involve building web stuff, so Bumperdo was my way of keeping in touch with those interests.
It became a useful tool for me, and in the process, for a couple of friends and colleagues. Between it's genesis in 2014, and the eventual closure in 2021, I slowly kept improving it.
However, it became increasingly difficult for me to maintain Bumperdo. While I did put in the time to make sure it stayed up to date in terms of security, near the end I hadn't released functionality updates for over a year. A big list of ideas, no time to build them properly, which meant even for me it was increasingly hard to use my own tool over better alternatives.
So, eventually I decided to shut down Bumperdo. Below you'll find some screenshots of how it looked near the end.
Personal note, if you used Bumperdo: I really, really want to thank you. The fact that I was able to build something that was useful to you and other people means a lot to me. Thank you.
