Changelog

Within a short amount of time I plan to roll out a few additions to the website. These include:

• More detailed blog posts and a blog listing page.
• A snippets page with useful code I have found or written.
• Enhancing accessibility of the site.

A complete redesign of the website.

• Updated the styling of the site to reflect more modern design trends.
• Added more advanced animations using GSAP that react as the user scrolls through the site.
• Removed content from the site that was no longer relevant.

Nothing major.

• Added a new blog post about this portfolio of which a case study will follow soon.
• Updated home page CTA section.
• Fixed a Google Analytics error with the contact page.
• Reworked some of the blogs styling and functionality with work on a pipe to allow scripts I add to posts (still a WIP).
• Removed the animation from the footer as I preferred the last item you see to not animate indicating it is the end of the page.

Added some much needed quality of life features.

• Added animations to each page.
• Added a page loader to help when routes are lazy-loading.
• Updated qualifications & studies section.
• Updated icons for X (formerly Twitter).

With the release of Angular 17 came a lot of excitement on my part for the new features hinted at and at a chance to refresh my Angular skills.

With the rewrite of my site I have included the following:

• Server Side Rendering for faster load times. (A decrease of 3.5s load to 1.6s).
• Standalone components - the new standard of Angular.
• Use of the new @for and @if loops with track for increased performance.
• A rewrite of my previous js scripts, now converted to pure Typescript.
• Light/Dark mode uses your system preferences initially and then stores your choice for future.
  This also removed flickering on the initial site load showing both icons.
• Additions to my blog (finally).
