The old look of this site
The first portfolio site.
Primitive, but mine!
Background
How I imagined showing off with plain HTML, CSS and JS having barely completed college and just starting the web dev experience.
What goals?
- Writing the entire thing with core web technologies only, to avoid jumpig into frameworks with missing fundamentals.
- Displaying the little things built as I learn and explore.
- Making a better job with UI, as my college projects were not very good, missing responsiveness and aesthetics.
- Achieve the concept of presentation I came up with inspired by a video about custom accordion components.
Features
- Simple color scheme with a dark mode.
- Apart from hardcoded full “website” projects at the top, little “widget” toy projects pull metadata in JSON format as well as raw markup code from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com. Then app is displayed within an iframe to provide live demo. - Introduction to async data fetching.
- Client side filtering of displayed content by “tags”.
- Entries displayed as custom vertical accordion component.
- Lots and lots of nostalgia.
