Yellowstone

This project builds on the ideas and concepts set forth in Project Canyonlands. It will be built in GoLang.

Background

This project is named after Yellowstone National Park, which spans Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872, Yellowstone is the first national park in the U.S. and is widely regarded as the first national park in the world.

The park is famous for its diverse wildlife and geothermal features, particularly Old Faithful Geyser, one of its most iconic landmarks. It encompasses various ecosystems, with subalpine forests being the most prevalent, and is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.

This project builds upon ideas and concepts from Project Canyonlands and will be developed using GoLang.

Version 1 — Old Faithful

This version reimagines the original Supercell (Media Manager) project, rebuilding it from scratch using a modern tech stack and best practices.

It features a monolithic design with GoLang’s templating engine, server-side rendering, and integration with tools like Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL, Docker, and advanced security measures (e.g., BCrypt and CSRF). This rebuild focuses on delivering a robust, secure, and modern application.
