Notes

• Based on my personal portfolio website. I wanted to create an open source version with more features.
• Check out a screencast I did where I go through the process of building my website.
• Illustrations from unDraw
• Search is based on Fuse.js and vue-fuse. It only searches the title and summary of posts for now. Some tweaking may be necessary to get it to search to your liking. Check out the fuse documentation for search settings. A search.json index file is generated at build time. This happens in gridsome.server.js.
• Check out these other Gridsome Starters where I got some ideas from:
  • Gridsome Starter Blog
  • Gridsome Starter Bleda
  • Jigsaw Starter Blog - I got a lot of design inspiration from this starter theme.
