To be honest, when I recieved the email from Gatsby announcing the first challenge on Jan 1st I knew I would not have time to complete it within the day (thank you NYE hanghover 😴). I barely had enough energy to create the repo on Gitlab. Faithfully, I was off today and alone at home. That was the perfect moment to start the challenge!
This blog is based on the gatsby-cli command and nothing more than a gatsby new 100daysofgatsby.
📝 Posts are written in Markdown. It does the job for now, but I'll certainly convert them to MDX in a near future. This way I hope to improve the rendering of some special parts of the blog posts (especially the code blocks or pictures).
👨🎨 The design has been kept minimalist on purpouse so I'm not polluted by components to maintain, animations to synchronize, colors to pair... I simply mixed Tailwind Toolbox's Minimal blog template with Ghostwind template et voilà! TailwindCSS is something I didn't got the opportunity to test last year. For now it sounds very promising, even if it makes className attributes a bit messy.
🚚 Regarding hosting, this website is hosted by Netlify. Whithin no more than 3 clicks, it was up and running with an HTTPS certificate and a push to deploy mechanism. My only regret is that someone already booked 100daysofgatsby.netlify.com... What a great time is it to be a front-end developer!
