Starting over: why I am rebuilding snuggledino.dev
A new look, a new structure, and only what is actually alive right now: DinoPulse and Green Dino.
The old site had grown for months: eight languages, an animated starry sky, a comet cursor and cards for projects that no longer exist in that form. When I set up my GitHub account from scratch, it was clear the website had to follow.
What is different now
- News first. The homepage shows what I am working on right now instead of a CV.
- Two apps, pages of their own. DinoPulse and Green Dino each get a page with pictures and help, and DinoPulse also shows the newest version straight from GitHub.
- German and English. Two languages done properly rather than eight done halfway.
- A new look. An 80s sunset: the sun goes down as you scroll, and every page ends at night.
- Reading and colours. In the menu you set up the site yourself: colours, text size, spacing and more, so you can read it comfortably.
What stays
The dinos stay: at the end of every page a dino pair sleeps behind the mountains, and petting it wakes it up. And as before there are no cookies, no tracking and no requests to anyone else's servers.
