Rebuilt echoHello.dev as a terminal/CLI-inspired portfolio with dark mode by default, replacing the previous multi-page layout with a focused 2-page design.

Key Changes

Design System

  • Terminal aesthetic: Monospace fonts, prompt symbols ($, >, ), bracketed buttons [GITHUB], [CODE]
  • Dark mode default: 3-state toggle (Dark/Light/Auto) via next-themes with localStorage persistence
  • Color palette: Dark charcoal (#1a1612) background, warm orange (#FEA116) accent, warm borders
  • Entrance animations: Fade/slide on load, blinking cursor in terminal prompt

Architecture

  • Simplified to 2 pages: Home with terminal hero + Projects listing
  • Removed: About, Services, OSS pages and their MDX content
  • Hardcoded data: 6 seed projects in lib/data.ts (no CMS needed)
  • Theme system: CSS custom properties in globals.css with class-based theme switching

Components

// Terminal window with echo commands
<TerminalWindow />  // Animated terminal with blinking cursor

// Project cards with terminal styling
<ProjectCard project={project} index={0} />

// 3-state theme toggle
<ThemeToggle />  // Dark/Light/Auto switcher

Configuration

  • Removed basePath for custom domain (echohello.dev)
  • Static export remains configured for GitHub Pages
  • CNAME file persists in public directory

CTA text exactly “Work with us” -> Discord + GitHub link. Pages: /about /services /oss /projects. Add CNAME. basePath aware. README.
