Add projects/journey/homelab anchor links to sticky nav for in-page
navigation. Add hidden flag to services data — hidden entries count
toward total but don't render. Remove badge counts from all widgets.
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
Reorder homepage sections (journey above projects), refine component styles, update copy and data across projects, timeline, and homelab.
Reviewed-on: #5
Bump body/description text from text-xs to text-sm. Lighten body copy
from color-text-dim/label (#444/#666) to near-white with opacity.
Increase row padding, card padding, and inter-section spacing to match
GitHub Changelog-style breathing room.
Unlayered CSS always wins over Tailwind's @layer utilities, so the
bare * { margin: 0 } reset was overriding mx-auto everywhere. Moving
it into @layer base restores correct cascade order.
Replace cyan-green modern theme with terminal-noir aesthetic aligned to
style-guide.md. Hard edges, monospace-first, linear transitions, no gradients.
Introduce Widget component as the single repeatable section primitive:
title bar with horizontal rule, optional badge/meta — all pages and
sections now use this pattern (Glance-inspired data-driven layout).
Design system changes (globals.css):
- Palette: #0a0a0a bg, #111111 surface, #00cc44 status green, #cc2200 alert red
- Drop Montserrat; Source Code Pro primary, system sans for prose only
- Transitions: linear 120ms; no eased animations, no border-radius
Component changes:
- Nav: flat, border-bottom only, lowercase links
- Hero: 56px square photo, status dot, @ email glyph
- ProjectCard: flat bordered card, 2-col grid, no gradient tile
- Skills: key-value rows with dot-separated values
- Footer: minimal text links
Pages: all sections wrapped in Widget; homelab uses gap-px grid for
at-a-glance, services, and ADRs sections. Archive uses flat list layout.
Data: remove gradient field from Project type; add optional year field
