I had beef with a library… or was it just me🥲

I spent the past few hours working on a portfolio/blog website where I can easily track and show my progress, both for myself and others.

The idea was to just create a quick website so I could quickly continue working on my other projects and actually start posting on the page…

Just as all projects, it got slightly out of hand and I spent WAY too much time making this website nicer, and completely ignoring my goal of a “quick” website.

The home page

On the home page I added a carousell, orbiting around earth, where I can showcase some projects. I did follow a youtube tutorial for the carousell (I’m not that good🥲)
I already did this one time before so I just used that code.

The about page

I also designed the about page with some info, a quote and some aditional ‘focus cards’.

Oh yeah, and the whole library thing…
I basically wanted to make some cool page transitions (which I have never done before). So I figured I would just follow a quick tutorial on youtube about the Swup libary… aaandd that didn’t exactly work as planned.

Turns out it was just my fault for completely following a 6y old tutorial that was using a previous v3 version of the libary. I was using the v4 in my code, which appairently works a bit differently.

Luckly everything works fine now!!

… turns out it was my fault after all.
