New Website Hero Section and My First Open-Source!
Wow! The website is finally done!
I spent about 6 hours yesterday taking my hero section from an empty space to a cool animation. I might still change it, but now i have a path forward for when i want to do that. I'd originally asked an LLM to make me a hero that combines aspects of Toronto with engineering elements, but it came across as too harsh/steampunk. So then I thought- lego!
But I'm a perfectionist, and "blocking lego-type design" isn't the same as "piece perfect lego design", so I can't actually use an LLM for this design (side note - I should think about developing a technics builder tool for lego studio v2), so I had to find one that existed already. I was originally looking for a CN tower that would rotate its observation decks, but that didn't exist, so I landed on a cool looking coupling to sell the metaphor of myself as an unorthodox connector. Thanks to user 2in1 for that!
It took awhile, but eventually we were able to animate it PROPERLY where the parts connect together naturally and move, not just a model that rotates.
Decided to push it to github in case anyone else wants to run with it. It's a cool concept of putting working lego models on websites!
