Happy coding! 🚀

Note :-This is a beginner's guide for those who have never worked on a Next.js project before. If you can understand the project, it's in your hands to make changes and create a portfolio that's 10 times better. You can use its clone for a quick start.

In the root directory, you'll find a sections folder. Inside this folder, locate the Intro.jsx file.

Within the intro file, update the following details:

• Shivraj - Your Name
• Web Developer - Profession
• /images/cartoon0.png - Your Photo

Remember to have your photo uploaded in the images folder located within the public directory.

In the root directory, you'll find a constants folder. Inside this folder, locate the SkillsData.jsx

• Add or remove skills according to your preferences.
• Use Desire icon from react-icons library.
• Give desire color to icon.

Just like with Skills, we have a ProjectsData.js file located in the constants folder.

All you need to do is replace the existing data with your own (name: Your project name, url: Project Live URL, imageUrl: Image URL from the images folder in the public directory).

Similar to Skills and Projects, you only need to customize the data in the JourneyData.jsx file according to yourself.

You don't need to change the app data, but if you want, you can create similar easy apps and replace the data in the AppsData.jsx file.

Suggetion for apps :- To-do List App, Weather App, Random Quote Generator, Random Jokes Generator, Basic Calculator, Countdown Timer, Recipe Finder etc.

Note :- If you're not able to customize the portfolio or run the project in your local environment, don't worry. It's not a journey of just 1 or 2 days, it takes time. For me, I was able to create it after 1 year of consistent learning. If you're not able to use its clone, just leave it and keep learning. You'll create a better portfolio or project one day.

I'm excited to introduce you to this amazing feature, and the best part is, it's completely free!

Follow these steps to set up your live chat system:

Step 1: Sign up on tawk.to.

Step 2: Complete the simple 4-step process to create your free account.

Step 3: Once you've completed the process, copy the code snippet provided at the end.

Step 4: Now, integrate the copied code into your application:

Navigate to the Components directory, locate the ChatSystem.jsx file, and inside the useEffect function, paste the copied code.

By following these steps, you'll have an efficient live chat system up and running in no time, enhancing your user experience and engagement.
