A website for a startup

Truckerforce was a startup designed to help farmers easily hire CDL-certified truck drivers for hauling. While the project never fully took off, it was still a valuable learning experience.

I initially prototyped the project using my typical stack: Node.js + Pug + HTMX. Later, I rewrote it in Golang for production, making it my first official production Golang project.

You can check the site out here, though there’s not much to see unless you’re registered.

Huge shoutout to Geoapify for their awesome free geolocation API.

Technologies used

• Echo for a nicer way to handle HTTP requests compared to Golang’s standard library
• HTMX for the frontend
• NGINX as the webserver and for SSL
• Strapi as the CMS
• TailwindCSS for pretty styling
• Templ for HTML templating

This project reinforced my skills in Golang, backend development, and working with various web technologies.
