The cobbler's kids finally have new shoes!
I pushed my new portfolio to feel like an extension of myself, focusing on personal expression and craft. There's still more work to do, but it's a start!
Built with HTML/CSS, vanilla JS, Tailwind, and 11ty.

Turns out Cursor struggles with craft too when given an image and explanation; it needs help from another Figma to code tool. CodeParrot is so far better than Builder.io and generates code for me in Cursor as an extension.
Tomorrow I'll really test its abilities when I try to make this:

There's a rift forming in the product design world: rapid prototyping vs craft. Sure, rapid prototyping gets something out the door fast, but it's generic as hell. Craft takes time and intentionality.
I didn't meet all my goals today (thanks, life), but that's okay. I'm choosing craft.

Cursor was struggling with my "this doesn't follow any kind of standard, wtf are you thinking" layout. So I'm testing out CodeParrot to assist in development.
Left image is what went in, right is what came out. Not too bad for getting me 80% of the way there!
Better than Builder.io, IMO.

Statamic likes to have fun with their site, although I'm a big fan of what they were doing before their most recent redesign. Thankfully the Wayback Machine captured it!

My new site only looks partially broken, which means it's on track, right? Today's goal is to finish the homepage and start a case study.
Cursor can be both helpful and frustrating as it rewrites code, but it's still much faster than doing this myself in VSCode.

You know the saying, 'The cobbler's children have no shoes'? My portfolio's been shoeless for too long! Building a new UX/product design portfolio this week using a small web approach: Eleventy, custom Tailwind + SCSS, vanilla JS. Cursor for dev. Follow along!
