[Open Source] After 2 Years of ‘Coming Soon … Maybe’ I Finally Shipped My Personal Site featuring 4 Procedural Generators, Terminal CLI, & much more. Dive in!

Celebrating a Milestone: Launching My Personal Website After Two Years of Dedication

After a prolonged period of exploration, setbacks, and moments of creative doubt, I am thrilled to announce the launch of my personal websiteโ€”an achievement that’s been nearly two years in the making. This site is more than a digital portfolio; it’s a reflection of my journey as a developer, showcasing innovative features and a transparent look into my development process.

A Digital Showcase Rooted in Creativity and Openness

At its core, this website is an interactive platform crafted with passion, featuring four unique procedural background generators, a terminal-style footer, and custom-built tools, all designed to deliver a compelling user experience. It’s a testament to perseverance and a passion for experimentation.

Technical Highlights

  • Procedural Background Generators: Four distinct visuals created with vanilla Canvas API, including hologram cubes, recursive circuit patterns, psychedelic mandalas, and quantum node networks. These generators are optimized for performance and continue to improve.

  • Interactive Terminal Footer: Beyond aesthetics, the footer functions as a command-line interface, complete with commands, hidden Easter eggs, and even a playful dinosaur game triggered by specific inputs.

  • Custom Markdown Rendering: Crafted from the ground up, supporting math notation with KaTeX, diagrams via Mermaid, and more.

  • Accessibility-Focused Design: Respecting prefers-reduced-motion preferences and offering a “Low Chaos Mode” for users sensitive to sensory stimuli.

  • Privacy Respect: No tracking, cookies, or intrusive analytics.

This project represents a significant milestone in my development journey, combining technical innovation with personal expression. I invite you to explore, fork, and contribute to the open-source codebaseโ€”your
