Huzzah! The first version of the Bean Water Antics blog is live! I'm excited to share it with the world. Here's a quick rundown of the features and what's to come.
🎉 What's New:
- Everything is new! Duh.
- Home Page.
- Notes Page with a snazzy filter and search system.
- Note Page that dynamically renders markdown files into static JSX pages.
- Coffee cup logo drawn in Adobe Illustrator.
- Styles from Tailwind CSS.
🚀 What's Next:
- Add dark/light mode toggle.
- Set up s3 bucket for image storage.
- Figure out how to import images from the s3 bucket into markdown files (without Next.js Image).
- Write more notes.
🐛 Bug fixes:
- None yet. But I'm sure they're coming.
📝 Dev Notes
This was my first time finishing a project with Next.js and Tailwind CSS. I am enjoying the experience so far. This site went up fast, three days to be exact. So far (statically using Next.js), I don't think this development method is inherently client-friendly (from a content editor perspective). It was a dream to develop it, however, and I assume utilizing a headless CMS would solve the content editor issue.
Perhaps I will explore that in the future. I also want to learn how to use Next.js with a database. Either way, I am happy with the result and I am excited to continue developing this site. - Keith
