So It Begins...

Welcome to gechodrift! So I wanted to make a comic site and maybe put together a game so I could build some coding experience. After looking around it seems like Next.jswas a popular framework to build a static site off of. I spent some time building (very ugly) components as a base to build off of.

Sidebar

The first component I built was the Sidebar. This will slowly populate all of my entries and allow for quick navigation through them. I can already see a problem that needs to be solved in the future. If I start getting a breadth of entries, how will I organize them?

I'm thinking I'll eventually organize it in maybe the following ways

I'll probably end up adding a date picker and maybe a search. It will depend on the importance of it.

Entries

For my entries I know I'll have to figure something out. Currently they will be static classes. I'm not sure if it's standard for these types of blogs to have static entries. Since this is my first time really jumping in and creating a website. Not only will it probably not be scalable. This site is definitely not mobile optimized. It will look terrible on any mobile device. Once i get the look and feel of how to do a dynamic entry (if possible) I'll look into the scale issue.
