This site: a personal website with a shell built in.
- Status
- Live
In short
A personal website that reads like a manual page and doubles as a command line. Press ⌘K — or the console button — and the same content becomes explorable with ls, cd and cat.
Why it exists
A portfolio is usually a page you scroll once. I wanted one that is also fun to poke at: the same content, readable as a document or explorable from a prompt.
My part
All of it — design, content model, front-end and the shell.
Decisions
- 01
The console mirrors the URL
The prompt’s working directory is the current route. ls, cd and cat move through the real site structure, so the shell is an alternate interface rather than a separate app.
- 02
Content is data, not components
Projects, experience and copy live in typed files; posts are MDX compiled on the server. Adding a project or a language never touches UI code.
- 03
Two languages, one set of components
Locale-prefixed routes, dictionaries where a missing translation is a type error, and per-post translations that fall back to the original instead of a 404.
- 04
No animation library
Every transition is CSS or the View Transitions API, each one marks a state change, and all of them step aside for prefers-reduced-motion.
