Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)
Geek Ink was born out of my personal quest for knowledge and a deep desire to share that passion with others. As a Computer Science student at G.S.U and a Software Engineering trainee at ALX, I recognized the transformative power of education in the world of technology. Inspired by this realization, I set out to create Geek Ink as a platform that combines my love for open-source, dedication to learning, and aspiration to make tech education accessible to all.
How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)
To build Geek Ink, I utilized the powerful combination of Docusaurus, GitHub Pages, and GitHub Actions. Docusaurus served as the static-site generator, allowing me to build a single-page application with fast client-side navigation. Leveraging the full power of React, the site became interactive, providing an immersive learning experience for users. GitHub Pages enabled me to host the website, making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
With GitHub Actions, I set up automation workflows to streamline the deployment process and ensure that the content on Geek Ink remains up-to-date. Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines were established to automatically build and deploy changes to the live site whenever new content or updates were pushed to the repository.
This allowed me to focus more on creating valuable content and less on manual deployment processes.
Throughout the development of Geek Ink, I learned valuable skills in setting up GitHub Actions workflows and configuring the deployment pipeline. I also honed my knowledge of React and leveraged the capabilities of Docusaurus to create an engaging and intuitive user interface. The combination of these tools and technologies empowered me to bring Geek Ink to life and provide a seamless learning experience for our community.
