Project overview

After working on a real codebase during my apprenticeship at Juisci, I gained a much stronger understanding of programming compared to when I made the first version of this portfolio.

I originally made V2 with Next.js, but quickly realized that it was not the correct tool for my needs. Most of my content is static and written in markdown, so I decided to move to Eleventy. This has greatly increased the website's speed and decreased its size.

Images are hosted on UploadThing, and the website is deployed with Vercel.

"It is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer React framework, to treat everything as if it were a nail VC-funded fullstack B2B SaaS application."

Inspiration

A lot (maybe a little too much?) of design inspiration came from Alexander Sandberg's website. It's simple and classy, simply lovely.

Paul Wong's website and Glenn Hitchcock's website were also great sources of inspiration.

As I had never used Eleventy before, I used Kilian Finger's website as a reference for the project structure.
