Welcome back to yet another edition of “Håkon redesigns his portfolio/blog for the nth time”. I really should come up with a more catchy name. Let’s start off with some stats, shall we?
The previous design has been live since atleast September 2020.
I’ve worked on it incrementally since it was launched back in September of 2020. This was also when I changed domains from haakon.underbakke.net to haakon.dev.
Before that in 2019, my site was built using Angular.
That’s right! My first Javascript framework (besides jQuery, if you’d call it that) was actually AngularJS. And then after struggling through that, I tried Angular 2, which was a bit better.
Before the Angular version, it was built a bit of vanilla JS
Now we are all the way back in 2016-2018
Have there been previous iterations? Yes. Are they available on the wayback machine? Yes. Will I show them to you? No. Horrendous designs, truly. But everyone’s got to start somewhere.
