History
2021
In December 2021, ditig.com launched with a completely minimalist design as a serious, fun side project to make personal cheat sheets and notes available online in one place and to become independent of established third-party platforms.
For fun, and because some of the content was derived from professional experience, Ditig stood for the initials of “Department of Information Technology - Information and Guides”. A fictitious department of the University of Hard Knocks, UHK. There was even a matching logo of the University of Hard Knocks.
Over the years, additional content was added, existing content was expanded, developed and refined. The focus expanded to include how-tos, Linux administration, web development, and many other topics.
2024
At the end of 2023, it became apparent that the minimalist design made navigation and finding publications difficult. As a result, ditig.com was given a new design in January 2024. Still minimalist, with a focus on good readability: large font, high contrast, short line length.
In total, 25 new pieces of content were published in 2024, which are consumed by quite a few people on a daily basis. By the end of the year, around 60 articles had been published. This gave rise to the desire to take the serious fun project to another level.
2025
In January 2025, ditig.com was given a new, modern and minimalist wordmark logo. The name Ditig now stands for the initials of “Discover Information Technology - Information and Guidance”. The design is still in the process of getting a complete overhaul. More light, even more contrast rich, visuals for publications, and a search box.
New articles continue to be created.
