Project Type

  • Jekyll/GitHub Pages personal academic portfolio.
  • Content lives mainly in Markdown files.
  • Styles are SCSS partials compiled inline through _includes/head.html.
  • JavaScript behavior is mostly in js/common.js.

Current Site Structure

  • /about/ is the main profile page.
  • / redirects to /about/.
  • Navigation links are managed in _includes/header.html.
  • The disabled spider-web intro is preserved in _includes/web-intro-disabled.html.
  • Loader markup is in _includes/loader.html.
  • Loader styling is in _sass/3-modules/_loader.scss.
  • Global visual overrides are mostly in _includes/main.scss.

Design Direction

  • Current preferred theme: Apple-like light design.
  • Use restrained colors, soft shadows, translucent white panels, clean type, and blue accents.
  • Avoid returning to a heavy dark theme unless explicitly requested.
  • Keep cards and page panels subtle.
  • Avoid visual clutter on the homepage; the user disliked the spider-web intro.

Known Issues / Notes

  • Some old inline page content still uses hard-coded colors such as #7FCEC2 and #CBC447. These may clash slightly with the Apple-like theme and can be cleaned up later.
  • The About page originally contained mojibake characters like I’m; some were corrected in _pages/about.md.
  • GitHub Pages may take a minute to rebuild after pushes.
  • Browser cache may show old loader or theme briefly; hard refresh with Ctrl + F5.
  • Git may warn about dubious ownership in the Box folder. Fix with:
git config --global --add safe.directory C:/Users/amostafa/Box/Downloads_chrome/afnanmostafa.github.io-live
