TL:DR

I was inspired to make this blog website because of Zoella.

A little background.

Over Christmas, I have been looking for a project or something I can build in ReactJS,

a couple of days ago I saw my girlfriend looking at Zoella’s blog, instantly an idea had sparked… why don’t I build my own blog? I mean I want to write more as its something I rarely do, plus it’ll allow me to use/learn several technologies. for example

• ReactJS
• Grommet
• Markdown-To-JSX
• Firebase
• Express
• MongoDB Atlas
• MongooseJS

I was inspired by the design of the Zoella blog but I wanted to make something more minimalistic as I found the vibe of the site a little busy.

Before jumping into the coding I made a quick design in Adobe XD to guide my design decisions.

So that’s roughly why and how I started this, hopefully, future posts will be a little more interesting…

Finally.

I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to blog about, however, I can say it’ll be anything from shower thoughts to geeking out about tech; I don’t want a single theme…
