The Contact page (/#/contact) is modelled on the classic early-2000s web guestbook. It displays existing entries sourced from portfolioData.guestbook (G export) and surfaces the developer’s social links from devInfo.socials.

Sample entries

idnamecolor
1Recruiter_Sarahtext-y2k-lime
2Dev_Davetext-y2k-cyan
3Design_Witchtext-y2k-magenta
Each entry is rendered inside a BorderedPanel, with the name coloured by its color class and the text displayed as a paragraph below the date.

​
Guestbook count

The devInfo.guestbookCount field (currently 1337) is displayed as a retro counter badge on the page — a nod to the hit-counter widgets of early personal websites. Update this number manually in portfolioData.devInfo to keep it in sync if you wire up a real backend.

​
Static vs. live backend

In the default implementation, guestbook entries are managed entirely in data/portfolioData.js. There is no form submission or live database — entries are added by editing the guestbook array directly.
To collect real submissions, replace the static array with a live data source: 
// Example: fetch entries from a Supabase table instead of static data
const { data: guestbook } = await supabase
  .from("guestbook")
  .select("*")
  .order("date", { ascending: false });
  • Supabase — Postgres-backed REST/realtime API; free tier available.
  • Netlify Forms — Zero-config form handling for static sites; entries appear in the Netlify dashboard.
  • Airtable — Simple spreadsheet-style database with a REST API; good for low-volume guestbooks.
If you add a live submission form, include spam protection (honeypot field or CAPTCHA) — guestbooks are a popular target for bots.
