I'm most proud of the hover outlines, which I spent way too long making. They're on npm as a React component if anyone else finds them cool: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dynamic-outlines

Re: Building a Kickass Portfolio
#235As someone who has been on both sides of the coin. My take is:
Don't make your site for anyone and everyone.
Keep a target audience in mind. Most of the time, the person that hires you is usually the target audience.
Don't try to be too cute. For example, I have seen sites/resumes where the whole thing looks like HTML tags. My first impression is "cute" but it makes it hard to read as you try to gather real information.
Most of the time when someone is looking at your site, they are asking themselves: - Who is is this person?
- What do they do?
- How much will it cost me. (Does it look expensive, cheap or reasonable what tier do they fall into. ex: Dominos pizza or Gourmet Pizza)
- Have they done any projects that are similar to what I'm looking to get done.
- Are they competent
- Do they look like someone I enjoy working with. (energy, attitude, views...)

#236Here's me:
I am proud to have maybe the slowest css animation ever used so that, if you wait several hours, you'll see the clouds move across the screen :D

#237My PS: https://pypanta.github.io/
I built it using CSS grid. It's not yet all finished, but now, I have more experience with CSS grid ;), so maybe I need to rewrite some parts again. And also, now CSS grid have a better support across browsers.

#238Mine is very simplistic, but some of the pages load slow because I haven’t optimized the images.

#239Earlier quoted context omitted.
https://nathan.sucks I like to think that if any future employers don’t enjoy my self-deprecating humor it probably won’t make a great fit anyway. I used the site as an opportunity to roll my own static site generator for no reason. Bit of a whatever website, but it was a fun learning experience nonetheless.
I like that "Google" links to google.com, so there's no confusion!
Thanks for noticing! It’s the little things, ya know?

#240I totally ripped off google[1] . I'm working on a facebook, and YouTube one, because why not.
