Welcome to the y2k-web documentation. This project is a fully-featured personal portfolio website that recreates the nostalgic look and feel of the late-1990s / early-2000s web — complete with Windows 98-style chrome, pixel fonts, marquee text, cursor sparkle trails, and a visitor counter. It is built on a modern stack (React 18, Vite, Framer Motion, Tailwind CSS) so it is easy to extend and deploy anywhere.

Introduction

Learn what y2k-web is, what it includes, and how it is structured.

​
What’s inside
