Jekyll Scripterix website – expansion

Longest session this month — continued work on the Jekyll Scripterix architecture

🧭 Portfolio portal refinement (2h)

• Updated hero headings: “Portfolio” (EN) and “Some portfolio projects” (PL)
• Reorganized sections – project cards over case studies, accordion with logbook and timeline
• Simplified stats (_data/stats.json) and synchronized labels between languages
• Removed duplicate styles; prepared layout for future filters

🕹️ Archive UX experiments (3h)

• Implemented a horizontal timeline slider (controls, scroll snapping, keyboard support)
• Tested an informational modal with session sessionStorage
• Decided to remove the slider → reverted to a simple grid + CSS/JS refactor
• Lesson: keep experiments minimal until UX is finalized

🌐 Content parity and translations (1h)

• Added English version of the post-6-start-wyzwanie entry (translation_id preserved)
• Reviewed posts – normalized headings to ## to avoid layout conflicts
• Updated heading styles in logbooks (**…** → ### …)

📓 Logbook & documentation (0.5h)

• Created this logbook entry + reviewed earlier sections
• Updated _drafts/README-einstein.md (markdown formatting)
• Cleaned resources in _data and _works

🚀 QA & build pipeline (0.5h)

• Repeated bundle exec jekyll build after each iteration
• Verified no Liquid / Markdown errors – clean reports
• Notes for future CI (GitHub Actions + screenshot generator)

Results

• Portfolio ready for filter expansion + consistent copy
• Archive cleaned of temporary experiments; findings preserved
• Complete pairs of translations for recent posts + typography fixes
• Logbook and documentation refreshed (Einstein guide)

Architecture update

Jekyll Site (2025-10-07)
├── _includes/portfolio-page.html   # cards layout, accordion case studies
├── _posts/2024-10-12-*.md          # post EN/PL with translation_id
├── _logbook/2025-10-07-*.md        # current Challenge10k session
├── _data/stats.json                # hero data
├── assets/js/portfolio-filter.js   # fetch + rendering logic for cards
└── archive/index.markdown          # timeline, search, UX experiments

Conclusions

1. UX experiments should be phased — slider/toast belong in a separate branch.
2. Consistent translation_id speeds up creating EN/PL pairs and stats.
3. Markdown lint keeps documents tidy (headings, lists, code fences).
4. Simple bundle exec jekyll build as a smoke test catches regressions fast.
5. Documentation (README) should grow with architecture to avoid losing context.

Metrics

• build time: 0.8 s (average after refactors)
• _site size: ~86 KB assets after style cleanup
• logbook entries: 5 (PL) / 5 (EN) with current translation_id
• portfolio works: 5 active cards (shared EN/PL)

Next: GitHub Actions automation (build + deploy) and thumbnail generator for projects.
