Documenting Design

Building your own website is something I thought only programmers do. It was a skill I did not have. So when Pablo introduced us to various ways of making a website, I thought it was such a great opportunity to learn. This is not only useful here, but also in the future!

When i first used Gitbook, it was so refreshingly simple to use. That was my first impression. But the more I started to use it, I started noticing its limitations. One thing that bothers me most is the fact that I cannot change the font styles or size. There are limitations on which colors I can use, barring only a few. But, more than building the website, I though it was better to focus on making the content that goes on the website. Since everything I am doing at IAAC is new and exciting, I thought it made sense to atleast keep my website very clean and easy to use.

But it would be really nice to explore Notion to make my website. Currently trying to figure out when that would be possible, may or may not be this year :)

For now, I am liking the easy of operation Gitbook offers, and I am learning to navigate its limitations.
