Today marks the first anniversary since Kiri Kiri Basara was started! In this article, I’m going to discuss the story behind this site’s creation, including the ideas behind it. I’ll also share some old (and frankly, terrible) designs for the site. Mainly though, I’m writing this article to thank you all for supporting the site.

So, how did I get the idea to create this site? Well, I have no idea myself. I saw that kirikiribasara.com domain was for sale and I bought it. It took me a few days to figure out what I want to do with the domain. A while back, I used to write about the news on Czech aviation for my first blog, so I already knew a thing or two about managing news sites. It was then that the idea struck me—why not start a dedicated beginner-friendly site for SciADV information and news?

On February 10, 2018, Kiri Kiri Basara was officially launched. The site from back then is very different from the site you see now. Firstly, the logo was different, and more reminiscent of the Kiri Kiri Basara logo in Occultic;Nine.
