This project is my personal portfolio which is used for jobhunting. It's written in vanilla JS, CSS and HTML, supplemented by various libraries and frameworks which are mentioned below.
Just few information about the technologies I used, what I've learned and new things I've come across
- Javascript
- CSS
- HTML
- Axios for data fetching (
npm install axios) - dotenv for keeping all credentials secret(
npm install dotenv --save) - express.js for the backend (
npm install express) - nodemailer for the email handling (
npm install nodemailer) - vanilla tilt for a smooth, tasty tilting effect (
npm install vanilla-tilt) - gsap for smooth physic-based animations (used as cdn)
First time using gsap and physics-based programming in general, working with nodemailer to let the user send me an email from my portfolio page. first time programming a chatbot (but I will have to update it since it's probably not the way it should've been programmed), furthermore I've learned a lot about structuring my files and working with js modules, keeping codebases independent and I think I almost overused CSS and Javascript-animations and by doing that I've also learned a lot. Also haven't used intersection observer in vanilla js before. Plus, whenever I got frustrated with another project, I went back to working on my portfolio because I've had a ton of fun! (vanilla js > react smh)
