Project Update Overview

Summary

• Established a neon terminal-inspired visual language featuring dark backgrounds, glowing accents, and monospace typography across the site.
• Rebuilt the homepage hero with .intro-panel wrappers so Andreas’ introduction and portrait sit naturally side-by-side without excess whitespace.
• Refined blog listings, cards, and interactive elements to better fill available space and maintain the cyberpunk terminal aesthetic.
• Tuned Quarto configuration to disable auto tables of contents, open external links in new tabs, and better support the custom styling experience.

Testing & Tooling

• Verified the site builds and renders locally with quarto check and quarto preview during the redesign iterations.

Next Steps Ideas

• Consider extending the terminal motif to slides and other Quarto documents for complete brand cohesion.
• Explore subtle animated accents (e.g., scanning cursor, grid glow) to further emphasize the sci-fi inspiration while keeping performance in mind.
