When I started working on migrating data from the old website of a project I’m developing for a client to the new website, I felt the need to prevent external users from accessing the site and seeing the migrated data. Only internal users should have access during this phase.

Typically, I implement Basic Authentication through nginx site configurations, which works well. However, I recalled reading that this could also be achieved with Cloudflare Workers—offering a simpler and more flexible solution. In this post, I’ll guide you through implementing Basic Authentication using Cloudflare Workers.

This past year has been quite active and fun to me as I took part in quite a number of projects for people from different parts of the world. As a matter of fact, I worked with clients from several countries: Norway, Palestine, and the US. Below is a concise outline of the works I did that kept my head spinning.

While working on Petmety, I encountered a situation where I needed to load a custom font for text elements inside a Shadow DOM. I chose to encapsulate everything within a Shadow DOM to separate state, CSS, and logic. This task turned out to be somewhat tricky, so I decided to share my solution with you.

As a developer, you often come across the need to search and remove specific patterns in your code. Recently, I faced a situation where I needed to find and remove a pattern that started with a specific word and ended with another.

I recently had the chance to watch “Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway” on Netflix, and I must say it was a fascinating and deeply moving experience. Based on a true story.

The movie revolves around Mrs. Chatterjee, an Indian immigrant mother living in Norway, who faces the unimaginable ordeal of having her children taken away from her by Norwegian child protection services. Her battle to reunite with her children forms the crux of the narrative. The story is not just about a mother’s love and determination but also about the cultural clashes and misunderstandings that can arise when immigrants navigate the legal and social systems of their new countries.
