Building a Personal Space with NextJS and MDX

31 October 2024

I wanted to create a new personal space, my tiny slice of the internet. I had a few reasons.

I built my previous portfolio using only vanilla javascript. I learned so much building it however it became unmanageable when it came to writing content.

I needed a way to quickly get my thoughts down and have them nicely formatted without wrapping everything in html tags.

I also wanted to use a framework to take advantage of features like out of the box routing. I use Vercel for most of my hosting and have recently re-learnt react. NextJS is built on top of the React library so it felt like a no brainer.

Here is the work in progress that i'll keep tweaking and improving. Any feedback please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm always looking to improve and grow.
