Gatsby Aamu.app starter for creating a blog
If you want to use try this out yourself, you first need to set up a project on Aamu.app which will host your data.
See the demo site here: DEMO
Static sites are scalable, secure and have very little required maintenance. They come with a drawback though. Not everybody feels good editing files, building a project and uploading it somewhere. This is where Aamu.app comes into play.
With Aamu.app and Gatsby you can connect your favorite static site generator with an API that provides an easy to use interface for people writing content and automate the publishing using services like Travis CI or Netlify.
- Simple content model and structure. Easy to adjust to your needs.
- Responsive/adaptive images via gatsby-image
To use this website, you need an Aamu.app account. Create one/log into your account and then create a database from the template gatsby-aamu-starter:
After that, you need an API key. Go to database settings for your newly created database and create an API key. Copy-paste that to somewhere safe.
You can use this repository on Netlify. After creating an Aamu.app database, click this:
Netlify will ask your permission to clone this repository — First click Connect to GitHub, then click Authorize.
You will be then taken to a page which asks your secret token. Enter your API key here.
Submit the form and Netlify will start building your site. This cloned repository will be on your GitHub account.
