This is Jekyll site built on top of the jekyll-uno theme, with a few static pages, a blog, and a React image gallery. The app pulls content from my Instagram and uses the excellent react-images to view the images.

This is definitely not an example of how to build a maintainable site. The code is not pretty: it's experimental, and cobbled together using a number of langauges, frameworks, scripts, and several hacks.

There's a two stage build process: webpack transpiles and bundles the Javascript under /react and puts the bundle in /src/js, then Jekyll builds everything under /src and dumps the static site in /build. "Deploying" is a simple matter of pushing the contents of /build to the master branch.

bundle install to install the Ruby gems.

npm install followed by npm start to start the jekyll server. The site will be available at localhost:4000.

This is a manual process at the moment (until the site is migrated off GitHub Pages) that can be triggered by running:

npm run scrape

This calls a PHP script that uses instagram-php-scraper to pull the data from instagram, and writes the necessary properties to a JSON file at src/_data/instadump.json.

From the source branch, first build the production version using:

npm run build-prod

The site will be built to .site. Then run:

npm run deploy

to perform all the git-juggling and push to master.
