Check it out!
A few years ago, I grew so tired from my career. As a frontend dev, i've been longing for a job that would allow me to build more interactive and creative pages, but I was stuck in the same job fields with the same boring forms and tables to maintain. Work consumes around 8h of my day, at least i wanted those hours to be a tiny bit meaningful!! So that's when i decided to take a leap of faith and left my job.
I was already trying for a long time to build a portfolio, but I didnt want to build the same old layout everybody was doing at that time. I wanted something unique and interactive, that could showcase my skills. After stumbling upon that poolside website, I knew i had to make something like that. A fake OS website could have so much potential! That's when kuroiOS was born. Took many months to get to a stable version but, not to brag, it was a hit on Linkedin
But very quickly I noticed I didn't want it to only be a work portfolio, I'd have way more fun with if it was something personal, somewhere i could play around, try new skills and post whatever I wanted, especially since i was already very burnt out from social media. Not long after i found out about neocities and well, here we are! Having genuine connections and getting to know all kinds of cool websites
It didnt help me land on a creative job unfortunately but it did call out attention from my current company, so I guess it did work in some way xD
Hope you enjoyed this tiny bit of history lol
