Nextjs implementation of the [Joel on Software](https://www.joelonsoftware.com/) website. Created as a learning exercise

Reverse Engineering the Joel on Software UI

WORK IN PROGRESS

A reverse-engineered implementation of the Joel On Software UI in Nextjs. Created as a learning exercise

Outcome Goals:

• Implement the layout of the the key pages: Home page, about page, article pages
• Learn the basics of React & Nextjs to build an actual production grade website

Non Goals:

• Getting the styling exactly the same. Near enough reproduction of layout
• Including all site content
• Following Best practices and perfect implementations on the first pass. Since I'm currently learning, attempting to do so will add more overhead to my journey

Pages / Features to implement:

• /index page
• /archives
• /about-me
• /YYYY/mm/dd/[id] pages
• [ ]

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/hello. This endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.ts.

The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.
