I'm now building my third personal website. The first gass-git.github.io/minimis/ I built it with jQuery, HTML, CSS. The second one gass.dev which is the current site I'm using I built it using React, HTML, CSS + Laravel for back-end stuff. And now I'm using React again, which is my favorite tech. I use React mainly because I have a lot of fun using it and love the modular/state system for structuring an App. I don't usually use CSS frameworks because I tend to think out site the box in terms of design, so I preffer freedom in this sense. Most of the content displayed in the site will be fetched. Projects from github, answers/stats from Stack Overflow, writings from devto, and other... For back-end I would like to learn something new, maybe firebase. I'm not sure.
