This year, I (finally) redesigned my #PersonalWebsite:
sidney.me 🎉

It’s based on postcards: a design constraint that helped me make more thoughtful decisions about what I want to say, how to stay succinct, and how to do it graphically. They also focus attention and scale well to mobile
#WebDev

I had a lot of fun building these microinteractions and making my site feel at home on Apple platforms

I can’t count how much time I spent on this popover animation—it got me inspecting screen recordings frame by frame

It marked a great opportunity for me to give my writing a permanent home on my own domain, and have full control over how they’re presented

There are so many small details I sweated over—I wrote about a bunch of them and the overarching details of the design here:
