+This is a personal portfolio website that showcases my work and projects. It is built using Astro, and inspired by websites like Linear, Resend, Clerk, and others.

-## 🚀 Project Structure
+## Installation and usage
 
-Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
+1. Install dependencies. I recommend using the node version specified in the `.nvmrc` file:
 
-```text
-/
-├── public/
-│   └── favicon.svg
-├── src/
-│   ├── components/
-│   │   └── Card.astro
-│   ├── layouts/
-│   │   └── Layout.astro
-│   └── pages/
-│       └── index.astro
-└── package.json
+```
+npm install
 ```
 
-Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
+2. Run the development server:
 
-There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
+```
+npm run dev
+```
 
-Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
+## Building the website
 
-## 🧞 Commands
+The build process generates a production-ready version of the website that can be served using a static file server.
 
-All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
+1. Create a production build:
 
-| Command                   | Action                                           |
-| :------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------- |
-| `npm install`             | Installs dependencies                            |
-| `npm run dev`             | Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321`      |
-| `npm run build`           | Build your production site to `./dist/`          |
-| `npm run preview`         | Preview your build locally, before deploying     |
-| `npm run astro ...`       | Run CLI commands like `astro add`, `astro check` |
-| `npm run astro -- --help` | Get help using the Astro CLI                     |
+```
+npm run build
+```
