In UI development, small adjustments to component styling can significantly impact the overall perception of a digital interface. Recently, I focused on refining the visual language of my portfolio project by updating the background and border properties of my tag components.
Tags are essential for content categorization, but
When maintaining a personal project like my portfolio, the most significant improvements often come from small, iterative visual refinements. Recently, I shifted my focus toward the subtle details that impact user flow, specifically targeting the styling of horizontal separators (<hr> tags).
In UI development, the goal is often to guide the user's eye
In modern web development, visual identity is often just as critical as the underlying logic. When a brand updates its identity—such as moving from a legacy mascot to a modern logo—it is important for developers to ensure that the user interface stays aligned with these changes to maintain professional credibility.
When building a personal portfolio project like portfolio, the goal is to guide the visitor’s eye smoothly across the content. Over time, I noticed that my layout was becoming visually crowded due to excessive use of horizontal rule separators (<hr>) between sections.
When building a personal portfolio, the presentation of your headings isn't just aesthetic—it's about guiding the user's eye to what matters most. In the tonybnya/portfolio project, I recently focused on refining the title component to ensure it stands out effectively against the page background.
Initially, the title component
Managing hard-coded API endpoints across a growing frontend application is a classic recipe for technical debt. In my project, tonybnya/portfolio, I recently undertook a refactor to centralize our service communication, ensuring that updates can be handled in one place rather than hunting through individual components.
Previously, our App, Progression, and
As our project, portfolio, continues to grow, maintaining code quality and security becomes increasingly difficult. Relying on manual code reviews for every potential vulnerability is not scalable and leaves room for human error. We needed a reliable way to catch security flaws before they reached the codebase.
We implemented GitHub Actions to integrate automated
In the tonybnya/portfolio project, we recently focused on optimizing our continuous integration (CI) pipeline by refining how CodeQL scans are triggered. CI pipelines often run automatically on every pull request, but not every file change necessitates a deep security analysis.
By default, CodeQL scans attempt to analyze
Maintaining the security of a portfolio project, such as 'tonybnya/portfolio', often involves careful handling of environment variables. A common mistake in web development is the accidental exposure of sensitive API endpoints or tokens. This post discusses the importance of masking these values in local development environments to prevent accidental leaks.
Maintaining a clean folder structure is the hallmark of a scalable React application. For the tonybnya/portfolio project, I recently undertook a major refactor to decouple route definitions from component logic. A chaotic file structure is like a junk drawer in your kitchen—eventually, you can't find the tool you need when it matters most.
