Yours is cool. Have a look at my portfolio and share what you think about it.

wow, yours is the inspiration I am looking to work with colours.

I can see, mouse events, x-axis infinite scrolls, scroll trigger events/animations,
I like the preview of projects, mouse hover events,

there are so many things going under the hood, i wonder the tech stack you are using?

Haha. I've never received such a compliment since the day my portfolio was launched. I'm happy that it inspires you. This means a lot to me.
By the way, the site is built solely with React and CSS.

Not sure if you used this in your project already but the animations based on scroll are a perfect use case for GSAP. I recommend checking it out ;) (gsap.com/)

The scroll based animations were achieved using only CSS and I haven't used GSAP for that. However, I've always wanted to learn it after watching people create wonderful animations with just minimal lines of code. GSAP indeed seems to cut a lot of workload and focuses on delivering the required animations to the viewer. Thanks for your recommendation, Samuel. I'll look into their documentation for more information.

My one gripe is I abhor single page portfolio sites. Breaking up the content into different pages/modals/whatever adds considerably to the comprehensibility and compartmentalization in my humble opinion.

I appreciate your perspective. The current design leans towards neubrutalism and predominantly features a single-page structure. However, I value diverse opinions, and your feedback is crucial. I want to assure you that I'm in the process of refining the portfolio, taking into consideration various viewpoints, including yours. As the design phase progresses, I plan to incorporate compartmentalization for a more organized presentation, respecting viewer's preferences. Your insights are valuable, and I'm grateful for your input as I work towards enhancing the overall UX. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback!

Thank you so much for your kind words and I appreciate your feedback on the design.

But the author of this blogpost is doing his animations in a proper way i.e., employing MATH to actually calculate the animation-flow. Approaching stuffs in a proper manner may help them survive in the design and development industry in a long-term.

My approach was purely gibberish and I implemented ideas as they came to me, often without a structured plan. This spontaneous approach requires a lot of trial and error, a challenge that could be mitigated by adopting a pre-planning strategy, akin to the author's approach.
Thanks again for sharing your perspective.

Yours is really great brother. It's been a while since I've seen a cool portfolio website. When I saw that you are a designer, I set the bar high and you delivered the best. The 'mouseover' interactions are actually satisfying. Never expected to have a horizontal scroll on the project carousal of yours lol. It was quite surprising to have that there.
The micro interaction on your name on the top left corner is funny. It displays a crying emoji when someone clicks on it. I like that 😂😂.
I still wonder what was the tech stack used to build this awesomeness.

That's really well made. He is a jack of all trades who could design and develop. This is some kinda super power to posses😂.
Anyway, thanks for supporting us both.

Thankyou so much bro! This is another lvl satisfaction for me, to see someone noticing the minute details, that I thought no one would notice.
I guess we all have our own style of doing things & we're all masters in that way.
Btw I've developed it using Next Js, Tailwind & Framer motion (animation lib) for interactivity

Thread Thread

Haha. Website designers usually have Easter eggs all over their website and one should pay keen attention to notice every minute details.
So, Framer motion is the soul of your site. I see. This has been in my wishlist for a longer time and I should consider learning it soon. BTW, it was nice to interact with you and hoping to see more versions of your website in the upcoming years.

It's actually very unique especially the onboarding one. Congrats :D

I don't want to criticize or anything since I don't even have a portfolio. LOL!
Just that, sometimes the user experience matters like scrolling down to get horizontal work experience. (I was trying to click on right side).

It's my personal opinion that I prefer simplicity and uniqueness with UX.
Wishing you the best!

Glad to hear that Anmol, and thanks for pointing it out.

I couldn't agree more with you, I do personally believe UX matters the most and that is why I am working on the portfolio consistently to solve these small experience-related glitches.

Sooner the web portfolio will become robust with good user experience.

That's not what you call a "cool portfolio" it's immature. It's like a beginner who's trying to add everything he/she knows in designing and developing.

I got your point!!!
But I haven't added everything, still, more than 50% I knew is left to add, and soon that will also be seen on the website(working consistently on it), hopefully then it will justify the heading of my coolest portfolio
