#Devlog #2 & #3: It Finally Looks Like a Website (with some eggs)

Yesterday, I had three files and a button.

Today, the site is live at tadstech.github.io/MyPersonalWebsite and it actually looks like something I’d send someone as a POC.

What changed?

I added a proper navigation bar, a hero section, an About section, and stats cards that give anyone who lands a quick snapshot of who I am.

Still no frameworks. No build tools. No animations. The only JavaScript is a button that cycles through messages. I want to earn every line of JS instead of adding things because I can.

—The corners—

Then I got curious about what happens when someone actually explores.

So I hid four panels at the edges of the viewport. They’re invisible until you wander your mouse into the corner, then they slide open(mobile excluuded rn but on it’s way.)

I deployed to GitHub Pages so anyone can find them. The site still has plenty of empty space, but it no longer feels unfinished. It feels like a house that rewards the people who bother to peek in the corners.

See you in Devlog #4.
