Discussion on: How is your portfolio built?

Nice looking site!

I use Jekyll for mine. It went through a few iterations of different front end frameworks before I decided on Bulma. I ended up building a Jekyll theme in the end so others could use it too.

Here’s the link to the theme:

Thanks! I ❤️ Bulma. I use it all the time! I like your site, it’s minimalistic and easy to navigate.

[C.S. Rhymes]

Thanks. After looking at others sites I’m thinking about experimenting with some css animations to make it a bit more interesting.

[Tim Smith]

I know what you mean. I do little transitions and things, but nothing crazy. The things some people can do with javascript and css to make a website come to live is just amazing to me. I don't get it.

Noob Here.
Any reason for not using bootstrap
Or, is it just merely interesting

[Tim Smith]

It really depends on your project. The biggest turnoffs for me are the popularity (easy to spot without a lot of modifications) and the fact that it needs jquery. Burma is css only which means that it doesn’t have all of the interactivity, but it also means I’m not importing a bunch of stuff if I’m not going to use it.

Thanks for the reply, man.
Understood the interconnectivity and unnecessary stuff. That sometimes also bugs me.
But Popularity? I thought more popular means more stable. And there is a lot more Bootstraps theme than Bulma.

[Tim Smith]

Perhaps popularity isn’t the right word. Popularity generally does mean more stable. I was simply referring to being easily recognizable.

[Sumnan Azadi]

Thanks for the clarity, man

I quite like using Buefy for interactive pages. It’s a library that combines vue.js and Bulma so no need for jQuery.
