From a Tumblr Account to a React App

✍️ About This Project

 

Data is stored in a .json file which holds an array of objects—each representing a photo and its original caption. The media was exported from my Tumblr archive and parsed using custom Python scripts to extract and structure the metadata.

The UI is built in React and uses Infinite Scroll for seamless navigation. A few custom icons enable smooth top/bottom jumping to make browsing an old photo journal more enjoyable.

This site is now continuously deployed using Netlify — pushing updates straight from GitHub.
