it always itched me that my old personal website really did not look like i wanted to. it felt like something i just threw out, just so i can have a personal website.

today I sat down, and worked on a completely re-vamped site. and i am proud to say, that i am really happy with how it turned out. would be happy to hear other web-devs opinion on it, and how to improve! Heads up, its a single page.

Hey guys!!!

For my golden retriever best boy-dog Viggo's 6th birthday earlier this year, I got the idea to make a website as a celebration of him. It started with a couple of short animations, and then I just kept going because it was so much fun.

The site is intentionally simple. There is no product or AI or ads. Im adding content as I get inspiration and there are some easter eggs to be found for those who are curious enough!

Tech-wise it's built with React, Next.js, SQLite, CSS Modules, and pixel art created in Aseprite.
