building this page like a pit wall.
im very into f1. (yeah, we figured, not like the entire site didnt give it away)
i wanted this site to feel like an f1 timing screen without being a costume. some features i loved:
- the navbar is a track. a straight timing line, sector nodes that light up as you scroll, and a lap clock you can pause and restart (whoever reads through the site fastest will be named World Champion)
- purple means personal best. the tier system borrows F1’s timing colors: purple for signature work, green for solid, amber for side quests.
- content is the only volatile data. the entire content of the site is stored in markdown files. the site works as a rendering engine; no room for error.
that last principle is why adding a blog was easy: it’s just another folder of markdown the engine knows how to render. get ready for a lot of blogs.
