This repository contains my personal website.

I've been working on revamping it in between bigger projects.

 

What I realized is that I desperately needed a creative outlet when it came to coding. So what did I do? I stopped coding and opened up Figma. Then I opened up dribble and looked at some cool designs to get inspired. What you see below is what I came up with. I played around with colors, font types, logos, etc until I came up with something that looked clean, yet modern, yet different.

Big shout out to @zadvorsky and OpenPeeps. They gave me my cool simulation and a solid foundation to work off of.

Lastly - I wanted to share some thoughts on what I've been thinking. Yes, blog posts but a little more informal. I'm sorry, I'm not writing this for you. This is for me and my own reflection BUTTTTTT I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

Ok back to the coding. I purposely didn't want to use any frameworks. On the javascript side, it's not needed, this site isn't complex. It uses HTML, custom css and a little bit of javascript. I will say, I sure missed tailwindcss though. I coded this css by hand, so I was crying the whole way. However, it made me realize how easy it is to forget things. It was a great reminder and some lessons learned when working directly with flexbox and grids.

What else....Oh yea! This blog's backend is a CMS. My favorite CMS - PocketBase. Written in my favorite language, Golang.

If you haven't heard about it, you should check it out, it is beautiful, asterically and functionally.
