What's in the code?

React

• Styled components: https://www.styled-components.com/docs/basics#extending-styles
• https://github.com/styled-components/styled-components/blob/master/docs/tips-and-tricks.md
• Images: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-image/
• Parallax: https://github.com/gilbox/react-spark-scroll

Why styled components

Right as I was building this site there was a good Twitter discussion about CSS in React apps. My takeaway was overcoming the awkwardness I first encountered when combining my HTML and JavaScript, adding CSS to the mix makes sense here and now everything is a component but it can also easily be extended.

Development

• Clone the repo
• Run npm install
• Run gatsby develop and open http://localhost:8000

Deploy

This site will automatically deploy via Netlify when pushed to Github.
