A quick note, mostly to myself, just to digest the progress. Finally i came up with barebones of the project, i’ve ditched React in favor of [Svelte]
. It has cleaner logic and structure. Webpack bundler will be replaced by [Vite]
. It is way faster and more modern. Database choice remains the same, it is PostgreSQL. JavaScript will be replaced by TypeScript as a more strict, statically typed superset language.
Right side flyout with project information triggered upon mouse hover has been added. Also i brought some improvements to the 8-bit mode: mobile phones are affected by the switch too. Some various aesthetic fixes here and there.
So, enjoy the page, Cool!

I have implemented special mode for low spec computers. Now, there is an 8-bit lo-fi switch in the header targeted to improve speed on potato puters. Mode disables all visual niceties in favor of better performance.
Breakdown of what is disabled on the website:
all animations all transitions all box-shadows various filters custom scrollbar audio effects right info flyout Hotkey: [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[8]
Now switch is visible and affects mobile devices.

Handmade retro-inspired unfolding list, code will be integrated to the website template for later reuse. Feature: hidden text in the unfolded menu is protected from being selected and copied. Not vibe-coded sh#t, mobile compatible, but who really cares?

In my spare time, I realized I’ve reached a point where I’m ready to create something genuinely useful for end users. Project criteria are clear:
It must be free It must be useful for personal use It must be easy to use A free bulletin board struck me as a particularly neat idea—suggested by a friend.
In my country, there are many such platforms, but nearly all suffer from issues like:

Dangerous Dave is a small demonstration of JavaScript capabilities. Control Dangerous Dave in wacky space riding green glowing blob by means of:
[▲] [▼] [◄] [►] arrow keys for movement [Spacebar] for laser shot [F8] to turn on/off orbiting planets [Enter] to become as cool as Duke Nukem ▀ FEATURES no heavy frameworks and dependencies, just pure JavaScript compact size, less than 500Kb including graphics and audio tiny core only 35Kb!
Ok then, back to the main topic of this website.
[Dinning menu]
for restaurants has matured and transformed into something more serious. Here are some fresh screens from the development fields featuring improved GUI and overall ergonomics with dark/light theme and custom cursor. Currently there is no any github repo because i work on the project locally. Maybe in the upcoming future i will share the source code online.
UPDATED ON: 2025-11-01 Some updates from the development fields.
▀ INTRO RANT Just want to take a break from mindlessly trimming trailing spaces and fixing indentation “issues” in my “learning” projects at overpriced online courses.
If i have spare time i’ll surely drop that neat story on you, where i share lessons learned about reality of web development and avoiding costly mistakes when it comes to paid education (or in reality: self-learning).

Testing out waters with database technologies and custom written web-based applications. This project includes the following tech:
Webpack as a module bundler to compile the whole project PUG as a modern, modular replacement for classic HTML SCSS for graphics rendering and animation [btw, no images were used] JavaScript for POST/GET queries to the PHP backend PHP to retrieve needed data from database Apache for hosting server-side logic IMPLEMENTED FUNCTIONALITY
In the last couple of years I dedicated most of my free time to self-learning the barebones of modern web technology, things like: HTML, CSS, JS, WEBPACK, PUG, various frameworks like Hugo and other web tech trickery. For those of you who are interested, here is my [Github page]
. Who knows where the VScode will take me?
I hope that these technologies will be a nice addition to my knowledge of raster & vector software, which I use as an [active microstocker]
.
