First Blog

Hello everyone, this is my first blog. This web page is built by Gatsby using LekoArts - Gatsby Theme Minimal Blog starter.

So why use Gatsby?

First of all, before I start to create my own web page, I was thinking about which framework to be use. There are several frameworks that I have used before such as React and Vue.js. But if I use those frameworks I need to build components from the ground up. I need to think about state of every components, and the most important is I need to styling the components.

I admit I'm suck at styling web page...

Despite I'm suck at styling web page, I want my web page to look great so I start researching for framework that at least have default styles. Then I found Gatsby and it have what is called "starters". "Starters" are a boilerplate Gatsby sites maintained by the community and intended for jump-starting development quickly. It have default config such as typography, styles, etc. I'm trying a lot of starters from Gatsby starters and finally I choose Gatsby Starter Minimal Blog by LekoArts.

Gatsby Starter Minimal Blog is a great starter. It have features

• MDX
• Fully Customize
• Light Mode / Dark Mode
• Typography driven, minimal style
• Tags/Categories support
• Code Hightlighting
• RSS Feed for blog posts
• Google Analytics Support
• SEO
• Offile Support & WebApp Manifest

The features that I bold is my favorites. So even tho I use Gatsby Starter Minimal Blog starter, I can customize it. Furthemore it have Light / Dark Mode and it have minimalistic style.
