About This Video

Today I challenged myself to build a portfolio website that’s actually useful (for once) and not just “silly, not stupid.” The goal was simple: make a cozy, unique portfolio in a super short time window, but still show real project info—what the app is, what tech I used, links (YouTube + live site), and even a difficulty vibe. I’ve built a bunch of portfolio-style things before, but I wanted something that doesn’t really exist, and that still feels creative even though “portfolio” is such a basic concept. The concept clicked when I got distracted on Pinterest and started looking at iPad layouts. So I designed the whole site to look like an iPad home screen: a soft baby-pink cozy theme, a low-opacity toolbar at the bottom with project icons, and a “notes” area that updates with the selected project. I built it in React and made it config-driven—each project lives in a single config file so adding a new project is basically just adding another entry. The real pain point was a weird Tailwind/CSS issue that took forever to fix (I ended up using the Tailwind CDN… don’t ask). It’s not perfect, but as a template it works, and next I want to automate the project configs by pulling from my YouTube channel so I’m not manually updating things forever.
