It's time to upgrade my portfolio website!
This was long overdue because I created my portfolio website in the Summer of 2020, at a time when I barely knew any JavaScript.
Do Not Repeat Yourself!
When using pure HTML and CSS, it is very challenging to avoid repeating code for similar components. I have been copy pasting code and modifying only the parts I need and now that my projects page is getting crowded, I have decided to put my React skills to good use
Figma design ready
It took me about a week to create the new design on Figma and another 2 days to create the Layout including the sidebar, Navigation bar and Footer
The general Layout
The blog content
The next step will be to connect to the GraphCMS using Apollo Client or GraphQL Query.
