Redesign

[sustained]

The current design, if you can call it that, is rushed and amateurish. I've never been good at design but I want to at least try to improve it.

I also want to stick with the dark theme, which makes things way harder (dark themes are tough).

I like my initial idea of each section of the site having its own colour - almost like it has its own personality but there is far too little colour.

Ideas

Things to try/experiment with:

• Full-screen gradients based on the section colours, to bring the dead background to life
• Background canvas animations
• Take ideas/tips from Refactoring UI videos and try to apply
• More use of animation and transitions (e.g. Nuxt page transitions)
• ???

I think we can use middleware to keep track of the current section and not only will that help us to handle the background animations but also I think it will help us to get rid of the duplicate templates unlike the plugin-based approach I tried before.
