I was wondering the same, but I thought the number of illustrations would be 7!/2 = 2520, that is, the number of permutations for 7 different elements, divided by 2 because symmetrical sequences generate the same drawing. Is it incorrect? How do you get "6!" ? 720 custom doodles seems doable, 2520 seems a bit much, so I suspect my reasoning for 7!/2 is wrong :) Edit : oh, I see how for all closed paths all 7 permutat…
Yep, in the code there are 360 unique drawing references. 360 = 7!/(2*7) 7! different ways to choose a closed path on the seven nodes. However, it doesn't matter which node you start on, so divide by 7. It also doesn't matter which direction they are chosen in, so divide by 2.
> Curios how its done? We are using paper.js and gatsby.js. Some behind the scenes: http://volligohne.de/projekte/timobecker/. Check out the source code https://github.com/voellig-ohne/timobecker

I can't say that I'm any less impressed that it's "only" 360 drawings :)

heres mine i've gotten some good feedback on it, and it runs ultra fast: https://conradadam.com
UX is your specialty but you have no screen caps of your portfolio next to each project name. If I want an overview of your work I need to click through each link, instead of simply scrolling through the page and then clicking on what I’m interested in. No offence, but that’s some poorly thought out UX right there. What good is it that it ‘runs ultra fast’?
User experience and performance go hand-in-hand. Users get frustrated if a site loads slowly or doesn't function. So I made sure to have a site that does those things (plus web performance is one of my specialties).

I use a couple of JavaScript libraries for displaying portfolio image galleries and the masonry-style blog list pages under /notebook/, but am thinking of reverting the latter into a single-column chronological format instead.
May the independent web live long and prosper!

I'm about 90% through a rework of my personal site, https://www.brentbaum.com/ Would love feedback on what works / doesn't work design-wise.

#118It used to be in AngularJS, now it's vanilla HTML & CSS. Mostly typography with just a little bit of animation.

Now I'm leaning on using or making a static site generator, needs markdown supporting math via some LaTeX flavored plugin, and simple to edit. Maybe one day when I'm less busy I'll get around to merging, updating, and posting the gazillion articles/talks/progs I've done that have gone unposted.

#120Anybody have links to example portfolios that solve this problem well?
