The navigation bar that is in the middle of nowhere

A website with its navbar in the middle?

Take a look at the github repository.

The concept of the "navigation bar in the middle of nowhere" had been on my checklist for a while. It could be seen as an additional meaning layer on top of the navigation bar surrounding the four sides on my previous ‘Personal website 2022’.

To visualize the idea, I drew inspiration from a popular pop culture trope - "The Crack in the Sky." Some notable references for this concept can be found in the game Fortnite and the 2005 film "Chicken Little.”

When you click on the 'Week' button, the navigation bar magically appears out of thin air. This bar contains weeks 1 through 12, representing my three-month internship at Practice Theory. Within each week's tab, you'll find a collection of self-hosted video clips (in webm format for efficiency) and images, providing a glimpse into my internship experience.

The site was built similarly to my previous 'Personal website 2022,' hand-coded method. The drag-and-drop interaction is achieved using the interact.js library, while the effect of the sky cracking was created by manipulating the background image's position through CSS.

Initially, the website’s objective is to archive all of my video footages and images during my internship at Practice Theory. The idea was to use the site as a presentation platform for my vlogs, where I would screen record and narrate them using my voice. It was a convenient way to showcase my experiences and work on a weekly basis.

Over time, the website was continuously updated with each subsequent vlog.
