Building My New Website with UIKit, Jus and CuboHub

A little about the three tools.

Jus is an amazing framework that allows you to quickly build a functional site in a similar way to Jekyll, but with an easier-to-use system, and I like the way it works with page templates.

UIKit, for me, is "the new Bootstrap". You have components with a very simple and clean standard.

I created CuboHub to automatically update the websites of my projects.

The beginning!

Well, my old website used a theme I downloaded from the internet and made some modifications to. After a while, the number of projects grew and I started having compatibility issues on some devices, and I also had difficulty keeping the pages always up to date.

I took the first step and started creating a generator for this, called CuboHub, available on GitHub: https://github.com/CuboHub. The page is updated every time there's a new change in the repository. Then I started planning my new website, found the right tools for the job — UIKit and Jus — and with the layout in my head, I was able to execute this project in two days. You can see the results at tiagodanin.github.io.

PS: Jus uses lobars, an amazing tool!
