If this is visible I got Gatsby to render and generate routes for Markdown files! :happy:
I wanted to write about why I chose Gatsby to make this website instead of using some static content generator such as Jekyll or Hugo and some other things.
- To be honest when I decided to create the site I was trying to use as much React as I could.
The good thing is that the framework takes care of routing. I do have to give them that, no need to use react-router-dom and their documentation was really helpful.
I don't think I will switch to another framework for the foreseeable future. I thought for a second to switch to Next.js but I have a considerable amount of work here already.
- Yeah, I don't really have an idea of how I want to style this part of the site.
I'm really happy with the front end. Rather than making everything outstanding and colorful, I'd like to style it to increase readability. Still need to spend some time working on it. I did change the font and looks way friendlier.
I just tested how much the width of the container makes everything look neat and compact. This definitely looks better on mobile!
- It works and looks nicely enough. Time to start writing!
I think I will finish updating the front end and adding a tiny bit of css to the blog, specially to the blog post list.
I do have to clean up the stylesheets. They are currently a mess, instead of using global.css and overriding styles. Let the front end and blog have their own stylesheets.
