It's been almost one week since I decided to move away from WordPress and onto a static site generator. I started my journey with Docusaurus and then stumbled upon MkDocs. I'm still unsure which generator I'll actually stick with, as I still have much to learn before making that decision. I do like that MkDocs supports Jinja.

All I know is that both Docusaurus and MkDocs are much better than WordPress 🤭 (for my portfolio, I mean—no disrespect to WordPress 😬).

Today, I spent some time learning about MkDocs, another static site generator. I coupled it with the incredible Material for MkDocs framework and, bam, I've created another version of my portfolio. Check it out over here. Just like this website, I used Netlify to deploy my builds.

Today, I learned about a new technology called Mermaid. It turns words into diagrams? How? My mind is blown! As a Technical Writer, creating diagrams can be pretty time-consuming. At first, I thought it could only handle flowcharts, but it can also create Gantt charts and user journey maps!

I can't wait to see how I can use Mermaid to speed up that process 🤯.

Another day of learning! My original idea was to use this Docusaurus experience to only host my knowledge base portfolio pieces. However, I am taking the plunge and moving over my entire portfolio. Yup, everything! I even got to perform my very first Netlify deployment to production.

Whoa! Docusaurus is a pretty neat tool. I can't wait to learn how to master it and do cool things! I am happy. Here's to another tool under my Tech Writing toolbelt.
