The idea

A few months ago I started looking for a new job and one of the first steps I took was to build my personal webpage with my CV information.

How I did it?

I'm mostly a backend developer so I wanted to explore one of the popular JS frameworks, as I don't have that opportunity at work.

So I decided to go with ReactJS and the CSS framework Bulma for styling.

And here it is the final result: https://jcoelho93.netlify.com

Dev.to latest articles

This app uses the Dev.to REST API to display my latest published articles, so this is a perfect template for anyone who's part of this community ;)

JSON Resume open source initiative standard

One of the requirements I had in mind was that the application should load all the personal information from a json file so that I could easily update the website with my most recent information.

So I found this open-source initiative called JSON Resume, that sets a standard for representing resumes as json. So my app expects the json file to follow this standard.

Make it your own

Recently someone forked my project on GitHub, updated the json file with their personal information and made their own personal webpage.
This made think about promoting my project to anyone who wishes to use it as a base for their own website and make it truly open source community driven.

So here is my project

> git clone https://github.com/jcoelho93/personal-website.git

> npm install
> npm run build

> npm start

What do you think of the project? And the webpage itself?

If you want you can fork it and make it your own, then send me the link I'd love to have a look at what you did.

Also if you make any improvements on the app a PR would be very appreciated. :)
