Devlog II: Personal Portfolio

The devlog today showcases in a sense more of a refinement with several large QOL updates, along with 2 more pages.

Firstly, I optimized the site for mobile. All pages are now fit well for small or md screens by using different tailwind classnames for different screens.

Second of all, the gallery is much nicer now and loads quickly, since I wrote a js script to go through each image and compress them. This took them from 40 MB -> 4MB, meaning the page loads much much faster.

Next, I wanted to ensure that the site would be easy to add to in the future, so the projects page now pulls automatically from a JSON file. It can have tags for links that render in a unified format and I specify file path, description, title. These are autopopulated with reference ids and go to the table of contents automatically.

I added a publications page to showcase my last paper, and those in the future to come. The CV is taken from latex code from my resume and is just a JSON structured format. It has the option to download the latex pdf too.
