A static and mobile-friendly website made to practice frontend after being away for a while. Feel free to play around and explore! The mimic will come around next ship I think, but until then, I'll leave this site alone... (if there are any bugs plz email me (it's in the footer))

  • global mobile responsiveness
  • new section (was gonna be an ice cream section but I don't often eat or know much about ice cream)
  • other minor fixes the time is way more than it should be (mostly just writing json :skull:) but that doesn't matter!

I thought I'd have this finished earlier considering I was making this for a ysws but things got out of hand :D (very pained smile) On the other hand I'm happy with the current state of things, so maybe this project ain't so bad after all.
Using my github commits as a guide, this is a very late devlog for 25h (note that a few hours were spent on code that was scrapped ;-;):
day one: added a section for stationery, which was the original idea; wrote base css, which remains in one file to this day.
day two: added the vending machine mechanisms (this was also part of the initial idea) by taking data from a json file (who would've thought it takes a while to curate things?) and converting that to html; scrapped the section layout in favor of a magazine catalogue spread style; made pages dedicated to the making/history of the website, footer, and 404 error.
day three: added two more sections, meaning updates to tmo and json data; updated the footer with better functionality; found out about mix-blend-mode and applied that to the vending machines; somewhere along the road also added the animations for the machines.
day four: added themes using css attributes (very fun) and localstorage; added one more section, thus additions to json data and footer in kind; wrote the alt text that i procrastinated on.
day five: added a welcome/warning screen for new users based on localstorage.
Most of the time was spent on meaningless CSS even though I had a pretty good idea of what the website should look like. All in all, making a cohesive website like this one was really fun! Would I do it again? Maybe next year!!! I'll keep working on this one - see the text document for what I plan to add :)
ps themes are in the footer... :'D
