Thanks for your comment! The About, Blog and Work sections will have a standalone page when it'll be reasonable to present them that way. I already wrote some small small firebase functions to suck the recent content from my Instagram, Dribbble and Spotify accounts. The site itself is hosted on Firebase and I'm using Jekyll to generate a static site right before deploying the code. It's relatively easy to introduce new sub-sections or category pages with Jekyll.
You're right, infinite scrolling would be the ultimate solution in the galleries so I'll rewrite my code to get there. My overall purpose was to avoid any 3rd party code or APIs (that's why I used vanilla javascript) because it'll be much easier to customize everything for my personal needs and I can iterate much faster later on.
Thanks! "GBR" is for a particular reason: R stands for Richard and it's more personal than my last name and that's why it clearly goes to the About section. B is for Blog (obviously), so the last letter remains to represent my works and I think my last name resonates well with the purpose to present my work with the outside world.
Thank you and yes, either good or bad, constructive criticism is something I always welcome!
Thanks. That's an actual bug of the responsive gallery and trying to fix it asap.
Thanks! My plan was to dive more into the details regarding the case studies but building up the gallery content and the sections was so time consuming that I finally dropped that idea (or at least postpone it for later). That's why the gallery description font size is so small at the moment. Luckilly, this is a website and I can tweak the layout any time to get the ideal way to present my work according to your feedback.
Sure, I'm planning to publish a longer post about all the technical details in the coming days.
A psd to sketch converter would be a nice feature. Many of us are still missing a proper tool like that.
This whole thing sounds pretty great. What do you mean by adapting components? Do you use the Fluid plugin in Sketch or you use something else? Do your adapting components only exist on iOS and Android? The biggest headache in our team right now is how to make reusable responsive components which could be used to build protos and test our quick mockups. I'm really curious about your approach and workflow...

Thanks! Great question!
I'm only using a code editor (I love Espresso and the current v5 version is a neat tool to edit your css/js/html code) to animate svgs. Actually, there are 2 ways to create an svg animation: using pure javascript or to apply some css rules to animate your svg elements with css transitions and transformations. I'm using a hybrid solution on the website: I use css transitions for the animations and start/stop/control the animation by toggling the css class on the inline svg element with javascript.
