Love how you brought that zine energy to the web - it really pops! What part of the build was the biggest creative challenge for you?

Honestly? Translating the idea into code was the biggest creative lift. But once that clicked, the live showcase of the stories became my favourite part—it felt like watching the zine breathe on screen. CSS gave me a ride too—finding the right colours, nailing the glitch effect, obsessing over every tiny detail you see... it was all me pouring heart (and back pain 😅) into it. Post-project effect? I can’t feel my spine 😂 But thank you for asking—it means a lot!

Pretty cool seeing someone go all-in with raw CSS and actually make it feel personal, like you can feel the pride in every detail. Respect.
