Portfolio Website

This is a bit meta - I'm documenting the progress of this website on this website! I am building a website using Python & Flask. The database is in Postgres, using SQLAlchemy to interface.

Update: Pictures on Index Page

Have I mentioned I'm not a style guy? Colors and layout just don't compute for me, but I'm trying to get at least a not-terrible look to my page. For now I've added some alternating pictures and text on the index page, rather than just lines of text. Also, I figured there should be pictures of me on my "introduce myself" website. Then over on the Projects page I added another photo of my workbench showing some WIP, and a caption letting visitors know the portfolio is not currently what I would like it to be, but it's progressing.

Update: A Little Style

I finally got around to putting info on the "/index" page. I (unsurprisingly) had more fun soldering and coding the Arduino that is featured in /static/background.jpg. I had ChatGPT generate some templates for me. I can get by in html/css, but design is not where I am most passionate. I like solving problems, and the problem I am solving with this website is showcasing my portfolio. Now on to that!

Update: The server is live!

Over the weekend I got a rough version of my portfolio database functioning, got the necessary forms to populate the database, and got everything wired together for a minimum viable project. I can now sign in and add projects and updates via the browser, as well as upload images. A few things that need doing: 1) Style. It's... boring. Thanks, Bootstrap, for making that part slightly less painful! 2) /index and /about are currently blank. 3) I would like the project page(s) to have a TODO functionality so I can make a burndown chart of sorts. That would be fun!
