The idea

A personal site with real motion but no UI framework: hand-written CSS, a few tiny libraries, and content that lives in Markdown.

How it's built

  • Next.js and React with static generation
  • GSAP and Lenis for scroll, reveal and page-transition motion
  • CSS Modules on a small set of design tokens
  • GitHub Actions deploying to Azure App Service
