## 01 — Not another wall of cards

<img src="docs/media/spectrum.gif" width="960" height="6" alt="Animated rainbow divider" />

Phosphor turns the portfolio into an operating system you can explore. Open a volume, follow a career through a commit graph, find a command, or get pleasantly sidetracked by a cartridge.

The interface is playful. The underlying site is straightforward: static HTML, local assets, real links, and a small, readable codebase.

| The desktop                                           | Inside the system                                           |
| :---------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------- |
| A glowing particle portrait with pointer response     | 17 original project concepts and individual case-study URLs |
| Four corners: projects, experience, profile, contact  | Sphere, index, and spatial gallery views                    |
| A cold-start sequence and pixel cursors               | A 13-step, four-branch career timeline                      |
| Six persistent, carefully chosen color themes         | A long-form profile with animated, original diagrams        |
| Optional CRT glass, scanlines, and synthesized clicks | Draggable contact and utility windows                       |
| Searchable command palette and keyboard shortcuts     | An original ray-cast maze and fractal explorer              |

> **Demo content, honestly labelled.** Alex Morgan is a fictional identity. The 17 projects and career history are original examples, not real client credits. Replace them before representing the portfolio as your own professional work.

## 02 — A closer look

<img src="docs/media/spectrum.gif" width="960" height="6" alt="Animated rainbow divider" />

<p align="center"><img src="docs/media/desktop.webp" width="960" alt="Desktop preview: amber pixel type, a particle portrait, and four navigation spaces" /></p>

<br />
<p align="center"><img src="docs/media/mobile.webp" width="300" alt="Mobile preview with a centred portrait and a two-column navigation grid" /></p>

This is a separate touch layout, not a desktop squeezed into a smaller viewport. Navigation moves below the portrait, the contact form stacks, and project controls remain within reach.

## 03 — Get it running

<img src="docs/media/spectrum.gif" width="960" height="6" alt="Animated rainbow divider" />

**Requirements:** Node.js **22.22.0 or newer** and npm. The lockfile is included.

```sh
npm ci
npm run dev
```

Open the local URL printed by Astro, normally **http://localhost:4321**. On first visit, click, tap, or press a key to start the desktop. Reduced-motion visitors skip the cold start.

```sh
npm run check       # Astro and TypeScript diagnostics
npm run build       # Type-check, then generate the static site
npm run preview     # Serve that production build locally
npm run package     # After a build: create source, portable Pages, and offline exports
```

**No Node.js just to look around?** The delivery includes a separate `Phosphor-Preview.html`: download it and open it in a modern browser. It embeds its scripts, fonts, and images and does not need a server. It is a preview/export, not the source of truth for editing.

## 05 — Make it yours

| Palette values                                  | `src/styles/global.css` and `themes` in the data file       |
| Motion, navigation, windows, interactions       | `src/scripts/app.ts`                                        |
| WebGL portrait and project scenes               | `src/scripts/scenes.ts`                                     |
| Domain and deployment base                      | `astro.config.mjs` / optional environment values            |

The project sphere supports dragging and a scroll wheel. The index is a normal scrollable list. The gallery supports swiping, scrolling, and explicit previous/next controls. Right-click the desktop for a small context menu.

No component runtime is needed for the interface. React and SwiftUI appear in the fictional project descriptions; they are **not** extra runtime dependencies of this website.

### Accessibility & practical details

- Navigation, forms, project stories, and content remain real HTML.
- Reduced-motion preferences disable animated transitions and skip startup.
- The complete project index is available without WebGL. A raster halftone backs up the portrait.
- Dialogs have focus management; background content is inert while a dialog is open.
- Keyboard shortcuts do not intercept typing in a form.
- Fonts and visual assets are local. The site has no analytics or tracking service.
- Rendering pauses when scenes are not needed or the tab is hidden.
- The print stylesheet produces a readable résumé rather than a screenshot of a canvas.

These are implemented features, **not a claim of a formal WCAG audit**. Test your own content and any modifications before shipping. See the [production and export verification record](docs/VERIFICATION.md).

## 08 — Contact without pretending

<img src="docs/media/spectrum.gif" width="960" height="6" alt="Animated rainbow divider" />

By default, the form prepares a **`mailto:` draft**. Your email app handles sending. The interface never claims a message was sent when it was not.

Before publishing:

- Replace `[email protected]` with your real address.
- Replace the generic GitHub and LinkedIn destinations.
- If you want direct form delivery, configure a compatible endpoint in `person.contactEndpoint` and test it. The optional endpoint must accept JSON `{ email, subject, message }` and return a successful HTTP response on success.
- Do not put API keys or mail-service secrets into client code. GitHub Pages is static hosting, not an email backend.

## 09 — Credits, provenance & license

<img src="docs/media/spectrum.gif" width="960" height="6" alt="Animated rainbow divider" />

Visual and interaction inspiration: **[Eddy Naboulet’s portfolio](https://eddy-naboulet.dev/)**. Its retro operating-system vocabulary, warm phosphor palette, pixel type, spatial collection, and commit-history résumé were studied before this independent implementation was written.

The template source and original SVG artwork are released under the [MIT License](LICENSE). The demo portrait is AI-generated and represents a fictional person. Fonts are distributed under their included **SIL Open Font License** notices. Dependencies retain their own licenses; GSAP is not relicensed by this project's MIT file.
