Initial Release

In this first release, I am thrilled to introduce a portfolio webpage with an integrated dynamic and responsive dashboard. The dashboard is initially only accessible to the creator, unless you find the Easter Egg to log in.

I would be lying if I told you that the dashboard is essential for building a portfolio site. On the contrary, it makes little sense to spend so much time on developing a portfolio page. But don't worry, I have big plans for this site and then the effort will be justified - hopefully.

User Interface Refactoring

Hold on to your mouse and buckle up, because I've given the site's user interface a bit of a makeover! This refactoring has also made the interface more user-friendly on mobile devices.

P.S. With this change I have only added about 16,000 lines of code.

  • UI elements have been better coordinated with each other
