★ 358 · HTML · updated Dec 2023

A personal portfolio site from a YouTube tutorial creator, built with plain HTML/CSS/JS. It exists primarily as a teaching artifact — the kind of thing you clone along with a video, not something you'd adopt as a template.

Flat file structure with zero build tooling means anyone can open it in a browser and understand it immediately. Multiple color theme CSS files (blue, green, purple, default) give beginners a concrete example of how to swap stylesheets. Good starting point for someone who has never built a portfolio and needs scaffolding to modify.

No semantic HTML to speak of — likely div soup throughout. The color themes are separate full CSS files rather than CSS custom properties, so changing a color means editing four files. Stale since late 2023 and shows no signs of maintenance. The repo also contains bucket-policy.txt and an S3/hosting config artifact in the root, which is just noise left in from a deployment tutorial. 358 stars are almost entirely from YouTube viewers following along, not from people finding this useful independently.
