🔨: You can run it by simply cloning, running pnpm i followed by pnpm dev and visiting localhost:3000. You will also need to create a .env and fill in the environment variables listed in .env.example for all functionality to work as expected. Additionally you will need to create a public/fonts directory and fill that in with the fonts of your choosing, which may require replacing imports across many pages and editing utils/fonts.ts. Built with Next, Tailwind & Typescript.
akshith.io is my personal website. Much of the work on the website was spent primarily on the writing section of the website which relies on the .mdx files available in the content folder. If necessary, this system alongside the set of custom components can be succesfully adapted for alternative projects. Other aspects of the website remain primarily visual, with little external utility outside of this project.
This website implicitly relies on my CLI tool adot for the <LocationStatus> component to work as expected alongside the microblogging section on the /writing route. Additionally, fonts are loaded using Google Cloud Storage before build time to protect font licensing requirements. The project structure is as follows:
src/
├── app/ # Next.js app directory
│ ├── writing/ # Writing section routes
│ └── page.tsx # Home page
├── components/ # React components
│ ├── layout/ # Layout components (Navbar, Tooltip, etc.)
│ └── pages/ # Page-specific components
├── content/ # MDX content for blog posts
├── icons/ # SVG icons
└── utils/ # Utility functions and fonts
