Complete visual overhaul removing glassmorphism in favour of a precise, typographic design system. - Design tokens: warm off-white / near-black palette, single accent (#1246F0), Syne display + DM Sans body + JetBrains Mono labels - Custom cursor: 10px dot expands to ring on hover; dragging state; mix-blend drives visibility on any background - Grain texture: fixed 3.2% opacity SVG noise overlay for depth - Progress bar: 1.5px accent line tracks horizontal section position - Desktop: full-bleed sections, ghost section numbers (4% opacity), animated hero (name → rule → footer), text-only nav with animated top-edge indicator line - Mobile: matching typographic treatment, minimal dot navigation, clean slide-out menu with mono numbering - Motion: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3) easing throughout; staggered entrance animations on home section; underline extends on link hover https://claude.ai/code/session_01BkB715SdTfJR99BjBzB1N4
- Progress bar: removed from HTML, base.css, and main.js - Name animation: slow 14s colour-breathing cycle (ink → accent → ink) on both desktop h1 and mobile name; animation pauses during theme switch so colour transitions cleanly instead of jumping - Section titles: accent colour (--accent) on h2 for consistent colour pop across all non-home sections on desktop and mobile - Theme toggle: unique CSS half-circle that rotates 180° between modes (left-half filled = light, right-half filled = dark); fixed in nav on desktop, bottom-left on mobile - Theme init: inline <head> script sets data-theme before first paint to prevent flash; preference persisted in localStorage - Transition: .is-theme-transitioning class adds 500ms colour transitions to every element during the mode switch, then is removed https://claude.ai/code/session_01BkB715SdTfJR99BjBzB1N4
Name gradient: - background-clip: text with 200% wide gradient: --bg → --ink → Cosmic Orange (#BF4800 → #F07218 → #BF4800) → --ink → --bg - Edges fade to --bg so the name blends into the background colour - nameShimmer keyframe animates background-position 100%→0%→100% on an 18s ease-in-out loop: orange sweeps left→right, holds, returns - Applied identically on desktop (h1) and mobile (.mobile-name) Theme toggle: - Icon size: 16px → 18px, border colour: ink-3 → ink-2 (more visible) - Rotation now uses individual CSS `rotate` property; scale uses `scale` property — they animate independently so the pulse and flip never conflict (togglePulse keyframe: 0→1.5→1 in 360ms spring) - Flash overlay: directional tint (#fff when going light, #000 dark) fades in to 12% opacity, theme switch fires at peak, then fades out creating a physical "shutter" sensation - Transition class applied at peak flash for 700ms colour settle https://claude.ai/code/session_01BkB715SdTfJR99BjBzB1N4
