Hello World!

This is my first blog post here! I decided to finally create a new portfolio site to replace the old one (which was based on a portfolio template), however I still used Astro for this development, as it has always been my go-to for static pages and also extra points for the astronomic reference.

For this website, I made its design using Figma, to get a better idea of the layout I wanted it to have. The one thing I had in mind was using a green color palette, instead of the blue shades I used in the past one (check it out). Also, for this project, I wanted it to have a “blocky” design, with everything enclosed inside cards and also a funny looking menu.

As of now, it’s still a work in progress, as some features are still being developed. One of them is a slideshow component for the projects card, shipping as little Javascript as possible to keep this website lightning-fast. Another feature is more on the admin-side, because I want to be able to create blog posts from a custom-made dashboard, just a little bit of server-side tinkering to achieve an easy way to blog on the go!
