For my 30th birthday 🎂 my friend Rocío took me to Rome, Italy 🇮🇹 for the weekend.

How does this work?

I used the amazing create-react-app as a starting point for this site, and added a few things to make it my own.

• Images are uploaded to the public/images folder
• Next, there's the pre-start script exif.js. This Node script uses node-exiftool to loop over each image in the folder and extract exif data. The particular data I wanted to display was the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focal length. This data is dropped into manifest.ts, which is ignored by git to avoid too many sources of truth (in this case, the images remain the sources of truth).
• index.tsx is what imports the data from manifest.ts and passes it as props to the images, which are rendered as React components.
