Dark Retro Webpage is a personal portfolio and blog site that blends modern React with the visual language of the early internet — Windows 98 bevel windows, CRT scanlines, pixel fonts, and a deep dark color palette accented with purple and magenta. Built on React 18, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion, it gives you a complete, opinionated starting point for a developer portfolio with genuine retro personality.Documentation Index

What’s Inside
The project ships with seven fully built pages and a set of reusable components that implement the retro design system. Every page uses hash-based routing (/#/route) so the site deploys to any static host without server-side configuration.
Win98 Window
Beveled window frames with title bars, icons, and control buttons.
Marquee Ticker
Framer Motion animated scrolling ticker for status messages.
Theming
CSS custom properties and Tailwind utilities for the full color system.
Quick Start
Start the development server
The site uses hash-based routing (
/#/). No server rewrites are needed — the index.html entry point handles all routes via the window.__STATIC_PAGE_ROUTE__ initialization script.
