Valiant Effort is a website I created for a group of pilots and mechanics working on a vintage WW2 aircraft restoration project. They wanted the ability to blog about their progress along the way, so I decided to use Gatsby as the static site generator, Contentful as headless CMS, and Netlify for deployment. You can see the live site here
- clone or download the repo
- cd into your project directory and install all project dependencies with npm install
- run npm start to start the development server
- the site is now live at http://localhost:8000
- optionally, open another browser window at http://Localhost:8000/__graphqL if you wish to experiment querying the data. You can learn more about this tool in the Gatsby tutorial
- Thanks to Andrew Mead for this fantastic tutorial on building a blog with Gatsby and Contentful
