- [x] *improving speed & accessibility*
- preloading doesn't work since we can't access head element when it first loads (note you access html elements like head from publish.js but it loads after loading the html doc so pre-loading wouldn't make sense)
- optimising images by using .webp for images/gif (keeping img resolution as rendered size for illustrations was looking blurry so used ~2x resolution.
- removing publish.js helped lower the LCP (Largest Contentfull Paint)
- using video tag instead of a .webp helped but it is no autoplaying correctly (using google cloud storage as the hosting)
- for accessibility made the primary color blue,;no colored bg for main callouts; *should I make links underline as well?*; alt texts are handled automatically; media width, height is pre-defined so that no layout shift happens (this messes up responsiveness);
- [x] *better headline*
- Ayush Rohilla is a product designer who codes on the side for fun.
- Ayush Rohilla is a product designer who codes, exploring new interactions and technologies.
- Ayush Rohilla is an engineer turned designer who likes exploring new technologies.
- [ ] *Interactive memoji / avatar made with Rive*
- [x] *update favicon*
- something simple
- represents what this site is about: thoughts, projects, journaling, work
- [x] *media isn't responsive due to set width & height*
- [x] *update illustrations*
- use company colors: purple bg is the issue - maybe change that too?
- yahan nahi to andar to kar hi skte hai
- blaze: just use a arc browser window showing Onboarding page "Welcome to Blaze";
- winjit: person holding a phone with bb (how can I make this specific to tier-2);
- reevia: person holding a phone with the app (scooter behind);
- [ ] a lamp to turn light mode on/off
- [ ] webring PR
