The Dirty Bird V1
The first public version of a dark cyber-inspired project workshop for builds, experiments, lessons learned, and friend-preview weirdness.
Problems Solved
- Created a project-first home for builds without turning it into a resume site.
- Kept the design dark, cyber-inspired, and readable on mobile.
- Made future project updates a Markdown workflow instead of a full code change.
- Added a friend-preview gate without pretending it is real authentication.
Lessons Learned
- A personal workshop needs enough structure to be useful and enough personality to stay worth maintaining.
- Static content collections are the right fit for V1 because the project records are durable but not highly dynamic.
- Easter eggs work best when they are isolated from the main reading paths.
