I created this website after completing the School of Code bootcamp as a way to showcase my projects when applying for jobs and neyond. I then eventually decided to add a Blog because I like to write and narrate stories. I thought it would've been a good idea to report on my journey into tech as a transfem career-changer.
I built it with Astro, which is a very cool JS framework, ideal for static sites. If you're curious to learn more about it, it's very intuitive and the documentation is one of the best written and most accessible out there.
I did take advantage of the Astro Island feature to build some of the components with React, a framework I'm more familiar with.
I used Tailwind for styling and Iconify for the icons.
There is also a touch of the eternal jQuery.
The typewriter effect has been done with this package. While the Matrix rain is inspired by Adam Nagy's tutorial. There are many packages for this as well out there, but coding it myself was eventually what led to the desired result.
☐ Implement E2E testing;
☐ Launch the Fiction section;
☐ Experiment with Svelte, Vue and Angular by switching some of the components;
☐ Create tickets from the long TODO/FIXME tree produced in the code;
☑ Restyle using a component library.
