Merge projects + homelab + timeline into one scrollable page.
Remove typeface picker (sans/serif/mono), keep theme toggle.
Nav simplified to name + toggle. Hero gains anchor links for
in-page navigation (#projects, #journey, #homelab). Old pages
become meta-refresh redirects. Timeline redesigned as two-column
grid layout — date left, content right — cutting vertical space
~50%. Focus states added for keyboard nav. Tags dropped from
timeline entries.
Replace monospace-terminal aesthetic with clean reader layout. System
sans-serif default, typeface picker (sans/serif/mono) with per-face
optical tuning. Warm color palettes (slate dark, bone light), crafted
link underlines, WCAG AA contrast on all text tiers. Semantic HTML
throughout: proper heading hierarchy, <time> elements, role=group,
<dl>/<table>/<article> where appropriate. Net -140 lines.
Replace Next.js 16 + React 19 with Astro 5. Same visual design,
same deploy pipeline, zero client-side framework.
- All components rewritten as .astro files
- Dark mode via inline scripts (no React context)
- Timeline animation via IntersectionObserver script
- Nav active state computed at build time
- Self-hosted Source Code Pro woff2 fonts
- Drop Font Awesome (icons were never loaded)
- Drop unused headshot PNG (1MB, unreferenced)
- Fix pfSense hardware refs (Netgate 1100, not N100)
- Output: 212KB static HTML vs 2.6MB before
- JS shipped: ~700 bytes inline vs ~130KB React runtime
