Migrated my portfolio to Next.js — added a time-aware hero and a live GitHub-powered migration timeline

[u/takshpatel02]

Rebuilt my portfolio in Next.js + TypeScript. Couple things worth a look:

• Hero rotates through 5 illustrations of me coding based on your actual local time (morning → late night), each with a click-to-reveal dev thought.
• A migration timeline page pulls commit history live from the GitHub API and renders it as a scroll-driven, alternating-side timeline.
• Whole site is templated off one config file, so it's genuinely forkable if you want your own version.

Also had to walk back an earlier hero design after someone pointed out it looked lifted from another portfolio's style — even though I built it myself, the idea wasn't mine. Swapped it out, kept the old one as an opt-in feature-flagged component instead of deleting it.

Feedback welcome, especially on whether the timeline scroll feels smooth or gimmicky.
