🌟 About the Project

This is my official portfolio website to showcase projects and skills. Built with astro framework, react and tailwindcss, the idea was to keep the design simple and not have too many distracting animations, and also have functional form that sends user messages to my mail. I'm adding a theme switcher for anyone who prefers switching from light mode to dark mode.

Challenges that I faced and their solutions

    1. I added a theme switcher button which works fine on my local machine but is unresponsive stopped working when I hosted it on vercel.
      solution to 1 - took down website and hosted it again
    1. Font on the h1 had more spacing on safari browser
      solution to 2 - Poppins is not a web safe fontso I changed foint family from Poppins to inter
    1. layout shift in hero section
      solution to 3. Changed height property from 100dvh to 100vh because dvh unit causes the layout shift
