🍭 My blog built with Gatsby + TypeScript. Neat.
🎉 Features
The whole blog is a React-based Single Page App built with Gatsby v2.
🎆 EXIF extraction
Automatically extracts EXIF & IPTC metadata from my photos on build time. For minimal overhead, fast-exif & node-iptc parse every JPG file upon Gatsby file node creation and add the extracted data as node fields.
This way, EXIF data is only extracted at build time and can be simply queried with GraphQL at run time.
In the end looks like this, including location display with pigeon-maps:

💰 Cryptocurrency donation via Web3/MetaMask
Lets visitors say thanks with Bitcoin or Ether. Uses web3.js for sending Ether transactions via MetaMask, Brave or Mist. Component listens to account & network changes and adapts accordingly.
As a fallback, QR codes are generated with react-qr-svg from the addresses defined in config.js.

🔍 Search
A global search is provided with gatsby-plugin-lunr. That plugin creates a Lunr search index file of all posts on build time which is then queried against when the search field is used.

will render this at the end of the post:
See it live on Matomo plugin for Gatsby.

🚚 Deployment
Every branch or Pull Request is automatically deployed by Vercel with their GitHub integration. A link to a preview deployment will appear under each Pull Request. Because of Vercel's maximum cache size of 500MB, Vercel is not used for the production deployment.
S3 Deployment
The latest deployment of the main branch is automatically deployed to S3 from the GitHub Action as the production deployment, aliased to kremalicious.com. The deploy command simply calls the scripts/deploy-s3.sh script, syncing the contents of the public/ folder to S3:
npm run deploy
