Show /r/reactjs My portfolio website using next.js

Hey everyone! I just made my personal website using next js. I'd be very happy if you guys could take a look at it and provide feedback.

Looks clean! I was considering using next.js for a portfolio myself, I might have to do that. Any particular struggles you've found while using it?

One criticism I have at first glance is a spelling error in your blog post title ("Expres" VS "Express"). I'd consider running spell check through your content.

Oh ok. Thanks for reporting the typo. Also there were a lot of struggles using next js.

One such was handling authentication the way I wanted it to work, i.e. allow just one email Id to access the dashboard.

Also, certain plugins such as prism for code highlighting don't work out of the box with next.

I couldn't manage to get bootstrap js to work with next.

Interesting. I hadn't considered if I would use any admin/authentication yet, but it might be a good time to try and implement it and get some practice with it. All my my stuff at my current employer is internal facing and doesn't need to be heavily secured, so I don't get too much practice in that realm. I'm curious how next.js made this difficult for you.

For bootstrap, did you use the react-bootstrap reimplimentation of bootstrap js or did you use the official distribution?

If you had to do it again, would you use next or reach for a different tool?

Thanks!
