template instructions

1. replace the images

replace /src/assets/img/self.png
replace /public/favicon.ico
replace /public/website.jpg (this is the image that shows up when you share the link on social media, you can take a screen shot when the infomation has been filled out)

2. Your Information

edit assets/info/Info.js There are some instructions written in the comments there.
replace /public/resume.pdf with your own resume, the link to the file is `https://yoursubdomain.yourdomain/resume.pdf

3. Color Scheme

Main Gradient

For the main gradient, you can change the colors in /src/assets/colors/mainGradient.js:

export let colors = ["rgb(0,255,164)", "rgb(166,104,255)"];

Particles Background Color

For the particles background color, you can change the colors in /src/assets/colors/particlesBg.js These are the colors I picked from iTerm2’s color schemes, but you can use whatever you like.

export const particleBgColors = () => {
  // for dark use atom one dark, for light use CLRS
  const background = (darkMode = false) => (darkMode ? '#0d2538' : '#DCD6C8');
  const particle = (darkMode = false) => (darkMode ? '#c678dd' : '#5C7C8A');
  const links = (darkMode = false) => (darkMode ? '#98c379' : '#E7B669');

  return {
    background,
    particle,
    links,
  };
};

4. Google Analytics Credentials

edit /src/utils/log.js

// fill with your own google analytics credentials
const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: '',
  authDomain: '',
  projectId: '',
  storageBucket: '',
  messagingSenderId: '',
  appId: '',
  measurementId: '',
};

5. Social Media Presence meta tags

edit /public/index.html
for meta tags, you can use the generator here
twitter example

<!-- Social Media Previews -->
    <!-- Primary Meta Tags -->
    <title>Andy Luo, Full Stack Developer</title>
    <meta name="title" content="Andy Luo, Full Stack Developer">
    <meta name="description" content="Full Stack Developer and Freelance Photographer based in Toronto, passionate about building web applications, learning new technologies, traveling and exploring new places.">

    <!-- Open Graph / Facebook -->
    <meta property="og:type" content="website">
    <meta property="og:url" content="https://andy8647.com/">
    <meta property="og:title" content="Andy Luo, Full Stack Developer">
    <meta property="og:description" content="Full Stack Developer and Freelance Photographer based in Toronto, passionate about building web applications, learning new technologies, traveling and exploring new places.">

    <meta property="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">

6. Deployment

I recommend using Netlify for deployment. It’s free and easy to use. You can follow the instructions here to deploy your site.

P.S. If you are using Netlify, to resolved the bug from react-router-dom, you need to add a _redirects file in the public folder and add the following code:

/*    /index.html   200
