I Moved This Blog - From Tistory to GitHub Pages and Dev.to

Trying to automate the writing process ended up moving the whole platform

I've been posting devlogs on this Tistory blog for a while, but I recently moved the platform to GitHub Pages and Dev.to. This post explains why, and what I gained from the move.

If you're reading this on Tistory, new posts from now on will be at the new addresses below.

Why I moved

Originally, I'd finish a day's work, write up the devlog by hand, and paste it into Tistory's editor. I wanted to automate that whole process.

The plan was to gather the day's git commit log and progress, draft a post, translate it, and publish it — all in one pipeline. Tistory assumes a human pasting into its editor, though, which made it hard to fit into that kind of automation.

I first looked at another blogging platform as an alternative. When I actually tried to integrate it, though, its policy had recently changed to put publishing behind a paid plan only.

So I switched direction: a static site of my own on GitHub Pages, plus the same post cross-posted to Dev.to. Both are free, and both support automated publishing through an API — that combination was the deciding factor.

What I gained from the move

Full automation — Writing, translating, and publishing now run on a daily/weekly/monthly schedule without a human touching it. If the computer happens to be off at the scheduled time, it catches up automatically once it's back on.

Korean and English side by side — Every post now has both a Korean and an English version. I used to write only in Korean; translation is now part of the same pipeline.

Ready for search — I set up a sitemap and site ownership verification so Google and Naver can index the site. Being a static site I control directly made this much easier to tune than Tistory allowed.

The full backlog migrated — Every old post from Tistory was moved to the new platform and translated. Every internal link that used to point to another Tistory post now points to the new address instead.

Where I'll be writing from now on

From now on, new posts go to only the two places below. This is effectively the last announcement post on Tistory.

• New blog (canonical): Quant Trading Bot Devlog(new tab)
• Dev.to (same posts, for the developer community): dev.to/finaltype(new tab)

If you're curious how this project is structured, I'd recommend starting with the project overview post(new tab).

Thanks for reading this blog. I'll see you at the new address.
