Credits & Technical Note
This is an acknowledgement of our sources of inspiration while developing this website, as well as a few amenities and a couple of technical pointers for those that are curious.
Credits
We have been freely inspired by minimalism and brutalism for the aesthetic of this website. All images have been hand crafted by us, with the exception of the backdrop for the footer, that we found on Vecteezy.
73 is the best number, as Sheldon puts it. It is the 21st prime number and its mirror (37) is the 12th, while the product of its digits is 21. Not only, it has a variety of other curious properties, so to speak. Its binary value is a palindrome, and so is its morse code representation. You might've spotted a motif on our website (-- ... ... --). That is the morse code for 73, it is also used to express "best regards" in morse.
Numbers are fun.
On top of that, the word "level" is also a palindrome. :)
Technical Note
We have developed this website entirely in HTML5, CSS and vanilla Javascript. The website itself has been written with a couple of objectives in mind: blazing fast performance and minimal interaction code. This means we rely more on CSS than we do on javascript for almost every visual cue or animation you can see on the website. There are a couple of exceptions, but nothing huge. This allowed us to publish a website that is fast and lightweight - no extra broadband needed for libraries and other stuff that we would use only partially.
The one backend component is the email sending script, that we have coded leveraging the well-known and reputed PHPMailer library - but this acts on the server.
83% of the images are SVG files (fast, light, crisp - when using geometric shapes and similar forms). Other images are in .webp format, a specialized raster image format that greatly compresses raster images with minimal loss, decreasing file size and boosting performance.
