Cool WIP: The one year later "Coming Soon" Personal Website
This is the Work In Progress that is my personal website. I have said on my old site that I had an update "Coming Soon" for about a year now and I am done with that.
About a week ago I actually started updating my site after stumbling on Gatsby while listening to @wesbos and @stolinsky's podcast Syntax. A week later I realized I can get this up and running really quick, but will need help refining and optimizing my code.
I am fairly new to React and would love feedback from any experienced Front End Devs who are willing to help out!
If you are experienced with Front End Dev then I imagine you already know how to get this working without help, but just in case...
You can follow Github's guide here: Fork A Repo.
npm i
gatsby develop
I have tasks I am adding to the issues to help me keep track of the project. I have gotten it to a state now to where I want to use branches and proper PRs to manage updates. Take a look around in there or make your own if you think my code could use some help :)
08 / 09 / 2017 Update, I have figured out a few things I want to do. I am loving importing data from any JS file. I have used it to add social accounts and a knowledgebase. Wanted to simulate pulling in real data so that I could get more familar with manipulating it.
I have been able to pull in the added objects / rows in the knowledgebase data file and convert them to a book -> chapter format. Using react-lowlight I added syntax highlighting to the library page and look forward to improving the code examples.
08 / 01 / 2017 This is where it all begins. I will outline what I am using below that I think might be relevant.
- I think I want to copy the layout of the home page to all pages as a uniform header and want to make a more reusable component for that.
- Styled Components
- Prettier
