Now running on Gridsome!

This is the source for my website. It is built in VueJS and Gridsome, and hosted on Zeit Now.

Why the switch to Gridsome?

I wanted to be able to have a blog but not rely on third party services like Ghost or Contentful. The methods for handling those approaches in Nuxt were a bit convoluted and problematic, so I jumped into Gridsome as an experiment and was pleasantly surprised. I was able to convert my site over in 2 nights.

I also love the vast array of plugins and starters available in Gridsome, and the use of GraphQL for querying data. There is a ton of efficiency and simplicity there. I was able to convert both my Journal and my Work pages to Markdown that gets processed and queried via GraphQL.

Running

  • Run locally: yarn develop (runs gridsome develop)
  • Build for production: yarn build (runs gridsome build)
  • Explore GraphQL: yarn explore (runs gridsome explore)
