A little portfolio site built using vanilla js, basic html, and css. Some of the data is coming from a Firebase Realtime DB, and the static assets are hosted on using Firebase Hosting.
Wanted to use some experimental syntax like optional chaining so I had to integrate Babel to transpile all of the code in the src folder to minified browser compliant code.
I do enjoy the simplicity of the site as is but I do have a wishlist of things that I would like to add, basically an excuse to practice some principals I haven't been able to use or apply in quite sometime.
Wishlist:
- Use image block with src set for browser that don't support these formats
- Get a perfect score with lighthouse, not far from this but hopefully using firebase and google fonts doesn't get in the way of this perfect score.
- Finish making site into a true PWA, let user know when there are updates to the site.
- Chat integration, use the same one from react taskbar
- Use AVIF, right now I am using webp, webm, and svgs but lets see if we could optimize by using AVIF.
- Use gif in platforms that do not support webm.
- Improve accessibility
- Use localization, and present the information in Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
- Use UserAgent info to present feedback to the user based off of the browser and more.
- Create tools.sherwino.co subdomain, and build a suite of tools that I really would like to build out. That deserves a whole markdown file of its own.
- Use CSS variables, so that I could properly theme throughout the site and its subdomains
- Create a react, vue, angular, mthrill, svelte version of the site with subdomains, maybe let the user select this in the footer.
- Add filtering, so that when a user clicks on a language or tech the projects we highlight projects that are related to that tech.
- Maybe I shouldn't use VW for sizing because fonts jumping and moving around is not a good look, maybe snapping is better.
- Create a print / download resume button using extended data from firebase
- Try building some of the tools in webassembly, cause why not
- Analytics would be nice, either google analytics, or something of the sort to know who is looking for me.
