Overview

• The Good
• MVP created under 1.5 weeks by using an Agile approach to the whole process
• An easy way to keep track of logs, projects, books and blog posts
• Basic achievements that can be unlocked
• The Bad
• Used Bulma.io but changed a lot of the CSS styling
• The achievements are based only on the number of posts with certain categories
• The documentation isn't created in the easiest way to read
• The Ugly
• The calendar needs the script to be added to the end of every page
• The UI looks a bit wonky on iPad screen resolutions
• Unable to click on the categories and tags

How it all came to be

Last year I participated in the #100DaysOfCode, initially, it was pretty easy to keep track of my progress but around day 30/40 the log was growing so big that I couldn't go back and check when or what I had done on a certain date.

I've also seen how many new people began coding by taking the #100DaysOfCode and I wanted to give them the possibility to have an easy way to create a portfolio from day one, that's the reason why I choose Jekyll. Someone with little to no coding experience can easily set up their version of the site.

Finally, I thought it would be good to have a way to see the progress at a glance, so the calendar view was added. The achievements was an attempt to add further gamification to the challenge to get people motivated throughout the challenge.
