Portfolio

While the seamless sync is working great, this immediately got me thinking whether this test website is already good enough to replace my current main website.

But, I still need to something quite important: a place for my projects 🏠! The intention of this website and pretty much my entire self-hosted online presence is to showcase what I am working on, what I want to learn and what's keeping me busy 🖱️.

I think it shouldn't be too hard to get a portfolio or projects page or pages running, but it would distract from actually working on these projects or thinking how to best showcase them. So, instead...

Switching themes

I will try out some themes! 🖌️ A fresh coat of paint never hurt anyone. I have already been looking on the Zola themes page and one that immediately caught my eye was apollo.

It's a nice, neat and minimal theme, with support for blog posts, projects and a clean tags overview. As I already have zola installed locally, I will be trying it out in the coming days to see if it would fit my needs ✔️. If so, I would be happy to get it going on this test website or maybe even immediately to my main domain (I am not the most patient person 🕰️)
