Akaalroop.com

I did a lot of code refactoring making the github fetching in house rather than a separate CF worker and a small visual fix!

Changelog

• Fix carousel not looping if dragging past akaalroop.com
• Remove forgotten about console.log
• Add correct click handler to modal
• Fixes SPA-126: After I moved loading of projects to +layout.server.js it wasn’t possible to claim the secret reward as the data was too… fresh!
• Made the modal send you to the projects more efficiently
• Update src/routes/+layout.server.js
• Now the projects are fetched directly in akaalroop.com!!
• Fix bug

I did optimisations like moving my pictures & favicons into $lib. The main visual change would be now the carousel actually comes in after the text.

I’ve been doing some aggressive SEO and performance optimisation. I’ve added descriptions to all the pages, put the font in $lib, added multiple formats of the background so it supports all browsers and other stuff, but I’ve achieved a decently high result for most search engines… except bing for some idk reason???

I did a lot of code refactoring! I made it a lot more robust, more like idomatic Svelte using +layout.js properly and using $props() and more complicated stuff. I also simplified the code and updated my API so you can just do https://api.akaalroop.com/projects and get them all, and if you give a param like ?repos=akaalroop.com you get just that! Anyways, on the visual side I added the modal to the gallery page on clicks and I made the data refresh everytime you came back to the website after clicking View on GitHub. Also I gave each page a title using svelte:head . Check out the main PR: https://github.com/Spacexplorer11/akaalroop.com/pull/61

I added some fallback text for when the projects couldn’t be loaded and made it so the Gallery isn’t accessible since it would be empty.

I added my teacher! The styling wasn’t perfect so it took a while to get the CSS perfect but its great now! Shoutout to Mr Walsh for letting me add him!

I worked on adding the sponsors page and finishing it! I simplified a bit more CSS and I’ve emailed my teacher since he has supported me so hopefully I can feature him soon! I have a few more things to add and then I can ship since I don’t really have much to change, just a few tweaks! (I have the silver, gold & platinum sections as comments for now unless someone donates!)

I improved the README and I am working to add a sponsors page! I’ve added it to the navbar and simplified a bit of CSS in the navbar too
