rekker, a personal portfolio

Ship #1

@gidmin on rekker, a personal portfolio · 13 days ago

Ship #1: I made a simple and professional portfolio for myself in order to display my skills and projects, called rekker. It includes an intro, about me, skills section, project section, contact info, and a nav bar at the top. The backgrounds of each section are formatted, for example the projects section has an interactive dot grid, the about me has a blurred shapes background, and the skills has a shifting gradient background. The nav bar has tabs to the right that will auto scroll to the section clicked, and the projects tab has a horizontal scroll bar for when I add more projects that I've made. I am really proud of the whole thing, but if I had to choose one thing that I'm most proud of, it would be the dot grid. It took a long time to build and format to only one section, and even longer to debug.

Devlog# 2: I fixed up the little things and polished the UI. I made the words on the upper right of the nav bar links so that you can click them and be scrolled to their respective sections. I also added an Onshape modeling card to the projects section. I added styling to each section, with a blurred moving shapes background to the about me, a gradient to the contact/links section, and a different, moving/rotating gradient to the skills section. I am going to ship this.

DevLog #1: I just started to buil my personal website/portfolio, rekker. Today I made an outline for future improvement, creating all of the sections like the about me, skills, projects, my github, and my LinkedIn. I messed around with some styling and JavaScript in order to “fine-tune” the Things I’ve Built page, which now includes an interactive dot grid, animated project tabs, and the capacity for a horizontal scroll option when there are too many tabs to fit on screen at one. Most of this was pretty difficult for me, which is why it took over 3 hours, especially containing the dot grid, mouse positioning, and issues with disappearing borders. But I managed to debug anf fix most of everything.
