How I created a basic Gatsby + Bulma starter template by @the-dragon [Blogs]
Although the blog post introduced a simple starter template for Gatsby with Bulma integration which, as it was explained to the author, could not be rewarded with the maximal upvote, it is worth being highlighted. Its structure is clear, the text is easy to read and the author created clean and pretty visual assets capturing the relevant code parts. It proves that images with code do not need to be boring and bland, and that the text does not need to be complex to be of high quality.
