About unslump.me

Why

Everyone has slumps. Everyone has their ups and downs. The higher our spirits soar the bigger our dreams and ideas. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to realise that a well phrased anecdote or quote can have a surprisingly positive effect on my perspective, which in turn lifts my spirits.

This little site is where I collect some of these spirit-lifters, as well as those passed in to me. Alongside the right visuals, these can serve as a quick pick-me-up and I hope they can do the same for you too.

How

This site is built with a static site generator called Eleventy.
The code is managed on GitHub and uses webhooks to auto-deploy to Vercel.
Image management, manipulation, optimisation and delivery is by Cloudinary
Each of these platforms and services offers Free Tiers and lots of people kindly share their tutorials and how-to's online which means that however old or young you are, if there is a project you would like to try to make, it is Distincly Doable.

All the best, Ben
