I rebuilt the same project after 15 years – what changed in web dev (bamwor.com)

The article describes rebuilding the Bamwor website from scratch after 15 years, keeping the same core purpose and domain. It argues that the biggest changes in web development are on the backend—modern cloud, databases with geospatial indexing, containerization, monitoring, APIs, and AI-related tooling—while the frontend has simplified to prioritize readable, magazine-like design. The author notes that the original inspiration, the CIA World Factbook, later shut down, but the demand for structured geographic data remains, supported by improved solo-development tools and easier prototyping.
