Finish your damn hani.page
Sadly, I have left hani.page quite rusty and dusty for a while. Coding is hard, especially when you learn to build on the go. I have been in an on and off relationship with front dev for almost two years, first one being stuck as a bad job doing low code, second one doing ui/ux design. I have never truly felt like a coder due to the fact that my job(s) have never really given me chances to dive deep into how programming works.
However, it’s high time I picked up some real lines of code, and to really reflect on the journey of building hani.page so far, I think I have gained so much (including a couple of maniac and depressive episodes) and lost nothing (excluding self-esteem). Technical skills are fun to organically absorb as they ask us to think deeply and solve problems creatively. hani.page has been less of a technical problem but more of a creative challenge. Despite technical constraints, I have had to constantly think about how to express my ideas with all what I have. The journey is exciting if once you surpass self doubt and pressure to make it perfect. All crafts deserve love, attention and patience. I hope one day I will learn to embrace this journey I am on too. But it is a good thing that I started with writing down my appreciation for it just like this.
So with all these yaps concluded, my plan to finish hani.page is as follows:
- Fading effects: why fading? what type of fading? timing of fading
- Popup screens: to notice the fading
- Final visual brush up: this should be done last. Make a working prototype first.
