Self-updating Portfolio

Welp, and with that, my little self-updating portfolio is done! It now automatically does stuff like updating my profile picture, my bio, and even the display name. This is all really cool, since it also means ANYONE can use it by just changing a single line of code. I am pretty proud of this! :D I even added a little “Extra Info” section for some stats about my GitHub! With that all done, I think I’m ready to have this shipped. Happy time! :D

Welp, the page has not changed much in terms of looks, but I have redone some stuff behind the scenes, as well as added a (self-updating, so it’s always correct) link to my GitHub profile when clicking “My Projects”. This is a cool little detail, and now I should just need to do the finishing details and be done with this little pet project of mine :3

Well, I finally managed to add auto-fetching to my carrousel. It now fetches all my public repos using the GitHub API, then checks which of them have at least one star or watcher, then gets a hyperlink, name, description, the good stuff. Puts it in a nice little package, and ta-dah! :D I’m pretty proud of how this came out, and I can feel the end really close. I’m surprisingly excited! :D

So, this was a bit more difficult than I was expecting, I am not going to lie. But, I got it! I got the carrousel working on a set timer, with cool animations, and looking pretty much ideal to how I wanted it! :D

Now the next steps are adding the projects, and a few extras I have, but the end is near, I can feel it!!! >:D

Welp, it finally works! :D We now have a carrousel! Right now, it moves when I click the right arrow, but I think I will most likely make it into a timed movement, since that looks more slick. Though I wanna be able to pause it. I will watch how I do it, and I hope it turns out cool. Let us hope for the best! >:D

I’ve been iterating a lot on design ideas and how to do all the stuff I wanna do. This is going a bit slow, mostly because of classes and other projects of mine, buuuuut, it’s shaping up. Let’s hope tomorrow I can solve up the JavaScript to make this move left and right as a proper carrousel.

Well, I started coding the site. I want it to have a sleek, “OLED” aesthetic (mainly so my retinas don’t get absolutely obliterated every time I want to test this page, but also because it looks cool as hell). Everything I have done up to now is just setting the basics and playing a bit with the looks. I have now to make the project list autoscroll so it looks like a carrousel of projects. Maybe I’ll even randomize the projects it shows. We will see…
