My Portfolio

I originally adapted this from this Next.js starter tutorial to learn the Next.js basics. This was before the App Router was implemented, so I've used the Pages Router. The site is deployed with Vercel.

When I first created this, I was still quite new to web development and experimenting with different frameworks. I used Next.js because it seemed like a natural progression after learning React, being one of the most popular frameworks recommended by React. I also used CSS modules because I wanted to see if it would help me organise my CSS. I'm not sure I have enough experience with other CSS structures to comment on my preference, but with proper organisation CSS modules seems helpful - I had to go back and improve my organisation after learning more about the purpose of CSS modules.

Having said that, if I were to go back (one day I might), I would probably use Jekyll for a simpler and more lightweight codebase, since most of the above now seems like overkill for the purpose of this website.
