I recently built my personal portfolio, focusing on fluid animations, scalability, and developer experience.
Why this stack?
Next.js for server + client rendering and modern routing
TypeScript for safety and maintainability
GSAP for timeline-based animations and scroll interactions
pnpm for faster installs, disk efficiency, and monorepo/workspace scripting
Features I implemented:
Hero text animation using GSAP timeline orchestration
Scroll-triggered sections with GSAP ScrollTrigger
Modular component structure for easy updates
Workspace scripts using pnpm workspaces
Fully responsive and optimized UI
pnpm advantages I loved:
Ultra-fast dependency resolution
No node_modules bloat
Workspace scripting made project structure cleaner
Better performance in CI/CD pipelines
GSAP power:
Instead of CSS keyframes, I used GSAP timelines to choreograph animations with precise control, which made complex sequences feel effortless.
Would love to connect with others building motion-rich frontends!
Let me know what you're working on.
