I can design and do backend but not really frontend. I wanted to see how far I could get with vanilla html/CSS/JS. You can see it in action at aadibajpai.me (clearnet) and clashkahznlvpwfg.onion (onion service)

The resume part is cool though, it's Dynamic LaTeX that autoupdates it with the latest numbers on click.

I can literally say I've never seen anyone add a scrolling marquee to the address bar. I think I like it? Hah.

I was on mobile when I looked at this before so I didn't even see that. It's pretty cool. Interesting at the very least.

Yeah haha, I knew my frontend skills weren't going to make it stand out so I had to look elsewhere. If I'm going to do it then might as well make it interesting šŸ™‚

It's true, I can't really make nice websites haha. Felt it was tongue in cheek given the situation haha.

Hey Aadi
I love your website's design, especially the part with all the links that end with your name. That's a very neat trick I may use in my website šŸ˜„

Thanks! Remember when I said I'm not good at frontend but can design? The whole thing is actually an SVG but the trick is that SVGs are nothing but XML files so I was able to individually hyperlink each link and modify it when theme is toggled via JS.
