Nihongo

Why did I build this?

A blog website meant to be a place for me to write about my journey learning Japanese. I wanted to create a space where I could write about my experiences, share resources, and track my progress. I also wanted to practice my coding skills and learn more about web development.

Tech

This is one of the earliest projects I built using NextJs. It uses a very basic NextJs project with SCSS.

All the content is written in markdown and fetched using getStaticPaths and getStaticProps. The markdown is then parsed using gray-matter and rendered using marked.

Cool things

Each page has a cover image inspired by notion’s cover images. Not only Inspiration, but I also just used the same images.
