Wow, Next.js is awesome. I really enjoyed developing my portfolio site with it.

Stack

For this site I used:

• Next.js (React framework)
• shadcn/ui (Component library)
• MDX (For blog posts)
• Velite (For turning MDX into a blog)

Inspiration & Resources

Brian Ruiz - Portfolio. A lovely and simply designed portfolio site. I took inspiration from the layout and simplicity.

Jolly Coding - Next.js Blog Tutorial. This tutorial was a great help in setting up my blog using Velite as I ran into a lot of issues using older methods (contentlayer), also learnt a lot about Shadcn UI.
