De Vierde Dimensie

This repo houses the assets used to build the 'De Vierde Dimensie' website, available at https://devierdedimensie.nl.
Goal of this project was to serve members of our student society media assets, that where generated during our anniversary year.

Features

• Fast due to SSR and smart image optimizations;
• Provides users with the ability to download original files of all shown content;
• Free hosting (due to free-tier limits of Google Firebase and Zeit Now).

Tools

The website is built and developed using the Gatsby static site generator, and styled with help of the CSS framework TailwindCSS.

Hosting

This site is hosted on Zeit Now.

• You can watch the source of the deployment via https://devierdedimensie.nl/_src.
• To see a realtime stream of logs go to https://devierdedimensie.nl/_logs.

Caution: you're required to create a Zeit account before being able to access above links.

Optimizations

Images that are uploaded to the storage bucket automatically trigger a cloud function (which can be found in the /functions folder). This function creates image thumbnails using sharp, as well as extracts metadata from the file. Links to the thumbnails and the metadata are stored in a Google Firestore database.

Storage & delivery

All image assets that live inside the gallery pages, are hosted via Cloud Storage for Firebase.
References to the images live inside a Google Firestore database. On request I'm able to provide you access to this database to query the data. The database follows the following schema:

{
  "id" : {
    "name" : "filename",
    "category" : "string",
    "labels" : [ {
      "confidence" : "integer",
      "description" : "string",
      "locale" : "",
      "mid" : "string",
      "score" : "integer",
      "topicality" : "integer"
    } ],
    "metadata" : {
      "format" : "mime type",
      "width" : "integer",
      "height" : "integer",
      "size" : "string",
      "timestamp" : {
        "_nanoseconds" : "integer",
        "_seconds" : "integer"
      }
    },
    "placeholder" : "base64 representation of a 32x32px version of the image",
    "thumbnail" : "location to 200px width version of the image",
    "small" : "location to 400px width version of the image",
    "medium" : "location to 800px width version of the image",
    "large" : "location to 1200px width version of the image",
    "big" : "location to 1600px width version of the image",
    "original" : "location to original (unmodified) version of the image"
  }
}
