Portfolio Website
Having a four day long weekend gave me the perfect opportunity to finally update my portfolio website, which had previously been unattended for six whole years!
When I get a burst of willpower to write a new app, if it is not large, complex or overly important I often choose a new language or framework I've never worked with in order to gain some experience and insight. This time around I decided to toy with Svelte and SvelteKit.
I setup a blank Svelte project using the CLI scaffolding tool sv and added Panda CSS.
As with any website, the difficult part is finding a good design. I scouted awwwards for ideas, chatted
with AI tools to see what they had in mind, or in RAM rather. Finally I found some motivation and
started prompting Copilot to help me both speed up the whole process and simplify work considering
I am entirely unfamiliar with Svelte.
You are looking at the results of that effort, I think it turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself.
