Managing My Digital Madness - LetoFiles

  I have finally finished building my personal website and now it is online for all to use. https://www.letofiles.com.

LetoFiles is created because I have too many files buried in CDs, DVD, and Blu-Ray disks.  All these files were backup because of their perceived importance.  But since I didn’t have a proper File Management system in-place, I had no way of tracking what and where my files were.

LetoFiles was not how I envision the project would turn out to be at all.  First, I built a proof of concept using VBA and Microsoft Access and it worked out generally well except one thing, the cool factor.  I wanted a program that’s accessible everywhere and the solution is a full-featured website.
Building a program using VBA on Microsoft Access platform is totally different than rebuilding the same program using web technologies.  The number of technologies required is significant more and for a new web programmer, the learning curve is steep and full of surprises (good ones and bad once).

After 2 years of intermittent development, I finally have a product that I am proud of and now I am putting it out there for everyone to use.


Come and check it, https://www.letofiles.com.  Leave me a message let me know what you like / dislike about it, I want to evolve the website into something everyone can use for re-discover their lost files.
