Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Bryan Dady

This functions as a personal home page and learning opportunity for me to practice frontend technologies.

This site is deployed to bryandady.com via Cloudflare Pages).

I spend a significant amount of my professional time on backend and infrastructure technologies, so sometimes it's a fun and helpful change of scenery to work in JAMstack, TypeScript, React and related web technologies.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

I've integrated deployment from this GitHub repository to my account in Cloudflare.

For safe production deployment:

yarn deploy:safe

This command verifies the build excludes development dependencies and is ready for production.

Security

webpack-dev-server Vulnerability Handling

This project may show webpack-dev-server security warnings during yarn audit (or npm audit). These are not security risks for the deployed site because:

• Development only: webpack-dev-server is only used during yarn start and build processes
• Not deployed: The production build contains only static HTML/CSS/JS files
• Verified exclusion: Automated checks ensure no webpack-dev-server code reaches production

Verification

To verify webpack-dev-server is excluded from production builds:

yarn verify:no-webpack-dev-server

Or run the complete safety check:

yarn deploy:safe

Why This Approach

The vulnerabilities (GHSA-9jgg-88mc-972h, GHSA-4v9v-hfq4-rm2v) affect the development server, not static site deployments. Since this is a JAMstack site deployed as static files, these vulnerabilities don't impact the production environment.
