Devlog #3 (Home Page Update) …………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Nothing too fancy, I just created a homepage according to the designs I made.
SKILLS LEARNED:
-clipmask
-translateX and Y
………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………
The previous home page is still active and this new one is currently separate from the actual page because It isn’t finished yet.

I might as well talk about the troubles I faced when I made this.

The trapezoidal bar at the top (future navbar)
I’ll make this short and easy to read for you guys!!
I originally made the bar myself on canva then uploaded and linked it in css but that had its own problems: I couldn’t size it well but more importantly, I couldn’t put an outline around it to make it look how I wanted to. The outline that did show up was a rectangle around the general vicinity of the shape.
I couldn’t crop the sides diagonaly using any cropping tool so I decided to do some research.
after the research I found out that you can make shapes using CSS within the codespace and don’t have to make them externally. This made it super easy to make the shape but the outline and centering/ sizing issues persisted.
I threw in the towel at that point and decided to ask AI how to do it, I also watched a few videos and learnt about clip-masking and a few other things.
And just like that AI saved the day…yay ( I’m just happy i got it done -_-) ANYWAYS this is a long devlog because the video doesn’t look all too appealing despite the time I’ve spent on it.
