This is my portfolio to serve as a reference point for a lot of projects I've worked on and things I've written.
Feel free to fork the repo to make edits or use as a reference for your own project
First, clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/gillkyle/me.git
Then install dependencies:
cd me && yarn
Then run using Gatsby (you may need to install the gatsby-cli
if you haven't already):
gatsby develop
The site is built using Gatsby, leveraging a handful of plugins to pull in data, fonts, optimize images, among other things.
- a Medium source plugin is used to retrieve info from Medium about blog posts I've written
- the Clearbit logo api was used to retrieve grayscale images for icons and buttons
- the Gatsby image plugin was used to create optimized images to greatly improve performance and "blur up" some images
Static files like SVG's from the designs and my resume are also included.
I've had issues with Netlify's deployment environments, deploys work just fine on Surge or pushed to a storage service. To create an optimized build run:
yarn build
