Exactly one year ago, the doors of freesewing.org swung open for our users,
|

while those of makemypattern.com get one of those *we've moved* signs.

Looking back at [that blog post from 12 months ago](/blog/open-for-business),
|
||||
it almost beggars belief that the things announced then are only one year old.

The concept of a draft, the comparison functionality, or even paperless patterns.

They all celebrate their first birthday today.

Not this site though, because [driven by the looming GDPR deadline](/blog/gdpr-plan), we dumped our Jekyll based site for a new front end sometime in May.

## More languages with less languages
|
||||
|
||||
GDPR was only part of that story.
|
||||
Other reasons for the rewrite were our desire to support multiple languages,
|
||||
and to simplify our technology stack.

|
||||
In other words, we wanted to reach people who speak different languages,
|
||||
and wanted to limit the number of programming languages required to do so.

### More natural languages
|

|

We've done remarkably well on this front.
|

While you won't find every last bit of content translated, this website's main features
|

are now available in five languages:

Ce qui est vraiment 100% grâce au bon travail de [nos merveilleux traducteurs](/i18n/).

The switch from [Jekyll]() to a [Nuxt](https://nuxtjs.org/)-based front-end
|
||||
has removed [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/) from our technology stack.
|
||||
Freesewing.org now runs on JavaScript, PHP and a little bit of C (which we'll ignore for now).
|
||||
### Moins de langages de programmation
|
||||
|
||||
But removing programming languages is not a goal *an sich*.
|
||||
Rather, the underlying ambition is to simplify things, make it easier for people to get
|
||||
involved, and ultimately attract more contributors so that the project can grow and flourish.

Today, designing/developing patterns is not an insurmountable obstacle.

We've got [benjamin](/patterns/benjamin), [florent](/patterns/florent),
|
||||
and [sandy](/patterns/sandy) to show for it.
|
||||
All of these were contributed by people for whom freesewing was initially new,
|
||||
they went through the design tutorial, and in the end created a pattern of their own.

We'd like more people to follow in their footsteps. So making the process as simple as
|

possible is a worthy investment of our time.

## Announcing freesewing, the library

For the past 2 months, I have taken time off from pattern making and sewing to

tackle our [technical debt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_debt).

Specifically, I've set out to rewrite our core back-end from the ground up in JavaScript.
|
||||
But there's a twist. It's no longer a back-end. It's a library you can use
|
||||
both in your browser, or on the server with [node.js](https://nodejs.org/).

## But I just want patterns
|

Chances are, all you care about is patterns.
|

What you want is more patterns, better patterns, different patterns.
|

And all of this rewriting is not exactly pushing your buttons.

I get that. I really do. I for one have a list of patterns I'd like to see added to the site.
|

And my work on other aspects of the project keeps me from adding them.

If we want a few extra patterns, this is not the right approach. But if we want a lot more patterns, I believe it is.
