Sal's Personal Portfolio Website

A modern Next.js portfolio website built with 💙 and ☕ by Sal Anvarov. Deployed with HotJar, GTM, and Formspree tools for analytics and form tracking.

Remark: Deploying on Vercel will FAIL as Nx has the output directory as dist on builds by default. To fix this - navigate to the Build and Development Settings and change the Output Directory to dist/apps/personal-portfolio/.next.

📚 Description

Preview: https://www.sal-anvarov.com/

This portfolio website was built with ease of extensibility in mind. This app comes with MDX for case-studies and blog management and Bootstrap for styling. The app has redux state management via Redux Toolkit and React Hooks.

Remark: Given App Router is not fully stable, I opted to stay with Pages Router until further notice. The plan is to eventually migrate to App Router.
