Below is selection of recent projects that I have completed.
Introducing the (ficticious) Onyx CLI
This is an idea I've been pondering for sometime and has evolved from wanting to create a collection of preset starters for the different stacks I use, eliminating the repetitive tasks when starting a new project, back to a command line tool, that would use (configurable) smart presets to quickly spin up new site using my defined presets.
Using Obsidian to author my Astro content
I recently starting rebuilding my personal site using Astro and decided to use Obsidian, an awesome note taking app to manage my sites content as well (which uses Astro's content collections).
Meet the Nue kid on the block
It’s 7am on a Tuesday. I’d planned on sleeping in after burning the midnight oil deep-diving into Astro, building a foodie-inspired theme as a way to familiarize myself with it’s internals.
Living a life more connected
If you’ve been here before, you’ll know that I’ve been wanting to write more actively, but due to the stresses of life, the constant hustle to keep the farm going, paying bills and the uncertainty of it all, I never seem to find the time.
The long overdue update - what I've been working on
Every site redesign / rebuild starts off with the best intentions. In my case, having a shiny new home for my portfolio and blog would of course mean I'd miraculously start blogging daily, but alas that hasn't been the case. Real life happened and as a result, updating my site fell by the way-side.
Hey ho, it's SmokeyFro!
It's been a long time coming, but I finally got around to creating a personal site that I'm proud of. This a complete rebuild of my WordPress version which lived over at devignerforhire.com for a couple years.
