We all have one of these projects, wanting to finish that One Last Thing before showing anybody. But I just looked and my last commit was 9 months ago. I'd love to be able to work on it more but you know, kids, life, money. Mostly have to make it more mobile-friendly but it's a pretty solid version of what I originally set out to do. Enjoy!
Unsure of what the goal was, here is my objective reaction:
- Navigation was a mystery. How is creations different from software? What is precisouses? I have to click to truly know.
- The site is almost 90% layout and navigation, with maybe 10% from content. I spent most of my time fiddling with the moving menus than I did learning anything about you.
- The additional backwards, up, forward navigation seemed confusing and unnecessary if you went through the trouble of implementing pushState, which you did.
- Copy and paste didn't work anywhere
The node navigation and geometry seems pretty cool, but it probably has more practical applications than a personal website. Content-wise, what I saw could have been better represented as a feed.
Indeed there are many possible applications. One is an interactive e-book reader that solves the spatial awareness problem of reading technical material in a digital format.
