Bikram Gole - The Aura Website

Welcome to my personal website 👋, a unique digital space blending cosmic aesthetics, hacker ethos, and controlled dynamism. This site is intentionally dramatic, reflecting my distinctive personal brand.

Live Site: https://devxtechnic.github.io/

Motivation

I conceived this project to create a personal website that authentically represents my identity and technical prowess. My key objectives included:

• Distinctive Design: A dark, interactive, and engaging user experience.
• Personal Expression: A platform that feels personal rather than corporate.
• Memorable Experience: Designed to be unique and leave a lasting impression on visitors.
• Technical Sophistication: Showcasing technical skills in a way that resonates with fellow developers.

Key Features

My website incorporates a variety of interactive and engaging features: ✨

• Multi-Page Navigation: Seamless navigation across Home, About, and Contact sections.
• Dynamic Theme Engine: A robust theme system offering multiple visual styles, including 'Liquid Glass' and 'Chaos' modes, with theme persistence across page transitions.
• Interactive Mini Terminal: A functional command-line interface for enhanced user engagement.
• Persona Quiz Game: An integrated game designed to interactively explore user personas.
• Live GitHub Repository Cards: Displays real-time project information fetched from github.com/DevXtechnic via the GitHub API.
• Engaging UI/UX: Features such as easter eggs, pulse effects, and other dynamic interactions to create a vibrant user experience.

Technology Stack

I leveraged a modern web development stack to deliver this project's rich features:

• HTML: For structuring the web content.
• CSS: For styling and implementing the diverse theme engine.
• Vanilla JavaScript: Powers all interactive elements, terminal logic, quiz functionality, and dynamic effects.
• GitHub Pages: Utilized for reliable and free hosting of my static site.
• GitHub API: Used to dynamically fetch and display my repository data.

Project Structure

The repository is organized as follows: 📁

• index.html: My main landing page.
• about.html: Contains my lore, identity, and interests.
• contact.html: Provides direct channels to contact me.
• styles.css: Centralized stylesheet for all themes and UI styling.
• script.js: Contains all my JavaScript logic for interactions, terminal, quiz, and visual effects.

Getting Started (Run Locally)

To set up and run my project on your local machine, follow these steps 👇:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/DevXtechnic/DevXtechnic.github.io.git
   cd DevXtechnic.github.io

2. Serve the files: You can use a simple Python HTTP server 🐍:

   python -m http.server 8000

3. Access the site: Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. 🚀

Developer Notes

• I included a .nojekyll file to ensure GitHub Pages serves files directly, bypassing Jekyll processing.
• I manage theme state using localStorage to maintain your selected themes across sessions.
• I intentionally included over-engineered elements for demonstrative and exploratory purposes, reflecting my commitment to creative and technical experimentation. No regrets!
