This website uses GatsbyJS, a static site generator based on the ReactJS framework. I chose GatsbyJS because it offered the flexibility of React without sacrificing speed and SEO.
I developed this website entirely from scratch, although most of the blog post generation was taken from gatsby-starter-blog. Posts are generated from markdown and MDX files located in the contents/posts directory.
This website also uses Bootstrap 5.0, mainly for the grid system and a few visual components. Most of the visual styles are custom made (including the fancy animations). These styles can be found in main.css.
Make sure all dependences are installed:
npm install
To start development, run:
gatsby develop
To build the site and serve it, run:
gatsby build && gatsby serve
The built static site will be generated in the public folder.
