## Completed Tasks

### 1. ✅ Astro Project Structure
- Initialized clean Astro v6.1.9 project in the repo
- Preserved `/music/` directory completely untouched
- Maintained `.git/` for version control
- Clean separation: source code in `src/`, output in `dist/`

### 2. ✅ Pages Converted

- **Features**:
  - Glitch bard animation (all 17 strips with proper CSS animations)
  - Site title and announcement link
  - Blog preview showing latest post (Status)
  - Bottom navigation with external links
  - Fully mobile-responsive with media queries

#### Blog Listing (`/blog`)
- **File**: `src/pages/blog/index.astro`
- **Features**:
  - Dynamic post rendering from `src/data/posts.json`
  - Currently displays 1 post (Status, dated 2026-02-28)
  - Hash-based navigation to individual posts
  - Responsive card layout with image, title, date, excerpt
  - "Read more" link functionality

#### CV Pages
- **Main CV** (`/cv`): `src/pages/cv/index.astro`
  - Left sidebar: Home, Profile, Education, Skills
  - Right sidebar: Experience (3 roles), Certificates, References, Languages, Interests
  - Experience has link to "More Information"
  
- **Extended Experience** (`/cv/more-information`): `src/pages/cv/more-information.astro`
  - Full 6 job history entries
  - Back link to main CV

#### 404 Page
- **File**: `src/pages/404.astro`
- **Styling**: Dark green background with centered text

### 3. ✅ Components
- **GlitchBard** (`src/components/GlitchBard.astro`): Reusable glitch animation component with 17 animated strips

### 4. ✅ Styling System

#### Global Styles
- **Base Layout** (`src/layouts/Base.astro`): Dark theme, monospace font (#9d9aa4 text on #0d0a14 background)
- **Glitch Animations** (`src/styles/glitch.css`): 6 keyframe animations (glitch-5 through glitch-10)
- **Bard Component** (`src/styles/bard.css`): Strip animation and responsive sizing

#### Page-Specific Styles
- **Landing Page** (`src/pages/index.astro`): Scoped styles for announcement, blog preview, navigation
- **Blog Page** (`src/pages/blog/index.astro`): Card layouts, post styling
- **CV Pages** (`src/styles/cv.css`): Comprehensive CV styling with responsive layout
  - Light/dark theme toggle support
  - PDF export scaling
  - Mobile-first responsive design (media queries at 320px, 768px, 968px)

### 5. ✅ Mobile Responsiveness

**All pages include responsive design**:
- **Mobile-first approach** with breakpoints at:
  - 400px: Very small devices (adjust font sizes, bard aspect ratio)
  - 768px: Tablets (adjust padding, navigation)
  - 968px: Desktop (full 2-column CV layout)

**Key responsive features**:
- `.bard` scales with `font-size` and `aspect-ratio` adjustments
- Announcement, blog previews, navigation adapt to viewport
- CV uses fixed nav on mobile, hidden on desktop (shows at bottom)
- All text sizes scale appropriately

### 6. ✅ Data Management
- **Posts Data**: `src/data/posts.json` (1 post currently)
  - Structure: id, title, date, excerpt, content, image, slug
  - Can be extended with more blog posts

### 7. ✅ Build & Deployment

```bash
# Build
npm run build
# Output: dist/ (88KB, containing all static HTML/CSS/JS)

# Serve
npx serve dist -l 4321
# Running: http://localhost:4321
```

## Important Notes

### Missing Assets
The following assets need to be restored from the original repo or re-created:
- `public/src/img/favicon.ico`
- `public/src/img/DanGrubbLogoWhite.png`
- `public/blog/src/img/CannotConnect.JPEG`
- `public/cv/assets/img/perfil-example.jpg`
- `public/cv/assets/img/favicon.ico`
- `public/cv/assets/pdf/DanGrubbResume.pdf`
- `public/cv/assets/pdf/ResumeCv.pdf`
- `public/cv/js/html2pdf.bundle.min.js` (for PDF generation)

**Current Status**: Site serves without errors, but images won't load and PDF export won't function until assets are restored.

### Music Directory
✅ Completely untouched at `/music/`

### Next Steps
1. Restore asset files to `public/` directory
2. Test all pages in browser
3. Verify PDF export functionality
4. Push to Gitea repo (`https://pi.dangrubb.net/dangit/dangrubbb/dangrubb.net`)
