It’s hard to believe it’s been almost three months since my July 5th post where I first talked about the magic of Mermaid. I’ve finally taken a stab at creating my own diagram. I based it on the swimlane diagram I originally developed for my Business Operation Process sample. However, I learned that Mermaid doesn’t support swimlane diagrams. In fact, you can refer to open GitHub issue #2028 to see the ever-growing list and demand to add swimlane functionality.

CS50 is Harvard's Introduction to Computer Science course. I first heard about it in 2020 during the pandemic lockdowns when there wasn't much to do at home. I tried taking the course then but didn't fully commit. I lost interest after the first week, mainly because I didn't have a good reason to learn computer science other than boredom.

It's been almost one week since I decided to move away from WordPress and onto a static site generator. I started my journey with Docusaurus and then stumbled upon MkDocs. I'm still unsure which generator I'll actually stick with, as I still have much to learn before making that decision. I do like that MkDocs supports Jinja.

All I know is that both Docusaurus and MkDocs are much better than WordPress 🤭 (for my portfolio, I mean—no disrespect to WordPress 😬).

Today, I spent some time learning about MkDocs, another static site generator. I coupled it with the incredible Material for MkDocs framework and, bam, I've created another version of my portfolio. Check it out over here. Just like this website, I used Netlify to deploy my builds.

Today, I learned about a new technology called Mermaid. It turns words into diagrams? How? My mind is blown! As a Technical Writer, creating diagrams can be pretty time-consuming. At first, I thought it could only handle flowcharts, but it can also create Gantt charts and user journey maps!

I can't wait to see how I can use Mermaid to speed up that process 🤯.
