Before I knew it, 2025 has already passed. Looking back at the blog’s timeline, I realized—I actually wrote quite a lot this year. 图 17 Although many times I just wrote whatever came to mind, looking back, each post genuinely recorded the state of this year.

Consider this a year-end summary for myself, and for those of you who frequently visit the blog.

What did the blog cover this year?

If I were to summarize the blog content of 2025 with a few keywords, it would probably be:

Tech Tinkering + Anime/ACG + Daily Musings

This year, tech-related content still accounted for a large portion of the blog, and I continue to write about many projects each year. Mainly focused on:

  • Implementing an automated internationalization solution for the blog
  • Currently, I’ve also written a small web3 blockchain gadget that hasn’t been released yet.
  • MoeKoe Music has also been maintained for over a year, with over 50 versions cumulatively released.
  • Various projects, big and small, that are tool-oriented or fan-oriented.
  • Involving a bit of hardware gadgets.

Anime/ACG & Reviews, also written with joy

This year, I also wrote a lot of anime/ACG-related content, such as:

  • Unboxing of figures from a certain anime/mobile game
  • Personal interpretations of certain characters, plot points, and random thoughts after watching
  • Thoughts after watching, where I “couldn’t help but say something”

For something like “Spice and Wolf”, I was truly invested when writing, a tear for every line. These articles are usually not meant to be “professionally analytical”, but rather:

“This plot point hit me hard, and I wanted to write it down.”

About the blog itself

  • Next year will mark the blog’s tenth anniversary, and a mysterious event will be coming.
  • This year, I also achieved the milestone of being a full-stack engineer with ten years of programming experience.
  • MoeKoe Music, released around the same time last year, has already reached 4.5K stars this year.
  • Finally, the blog’s internationalization solution is live.
  • Most acquaintances in the blogging community have become annual bloggers (i.e., post once a year).

Sometimes an article might not be long, nor necessarily systematic, but as long as it solves a problem or expresses an idea, it’s worth keeping.

And the more I write, the more I realize:

The greatest value of a blog is actually for your future self.

Things I didn’t get to do this year

Of course, not all plans were completed:

  • Some content I wanted to write as a series ended up with only one or two posts.
  • Some holes were dug, but not filled.
  • Occasionally, I’d be lazy, delay updates, or even not want to write for a period.

But I’ve long since come to terms with it. A blog isn’t a KPI, nor a to-do list; the ability to keep writing itself is already a win over many “plans”.

A small expectation for 2026

No grand goals, just a few simple points:

  • Continue the habit of blogging
  • Tech content to be more practical, less superficial
  • Anime/ACG and personal thoughts, write whenever I feel like it
  • The blog remains a blog, not a source of pressure

If one day something I write, happens to help someone, or makes someone feel “Ah, I have the same feeling,” then it’s quite worth it.

Finally

The blog in 2025 was probably:

Imperfect, but very real.

Thank you for occasionally clicking in to read this year, and thank myself for not abandoning this blog.

In 2026, I’ll continue to write slowly.
