My website's previous iteration was built in 2021. It was bootstrapped using (the now deprecated) Create React App and it took approximately 2 months to build. The home page included a bunch of photos that I had taken myself of my desk and keyboard as background for several sections and it included most of the information on the website. In the middle of the page I put the SkillsTerminal (which also features in the current version), which provided visitors with a familiar and mobile-ready UI which included my tech skills, aswell as a bit of information on my work and project history.

Project mention: A Step By Step Guide to Updating Your Legacy Node.js App in 2024 (v10 to v22) | dev.to | 2024-07-25
Crawly is an Express app built on the bones of hackathon-starter, a boilerplate package for Node apps. Surprisingly, this project is still alive and well maintained in 2024. But there's no guarantee that the project still uses the same dependencies (it doesn't), and there's a likelihood that even more dependencies would be added (there were). So I abandoned any plans to merge the latest in.

react-boilerplate
🔥 A highly scalable, offline-first foundation with the best developer experience and a focus on performance and best practices.
I worked on a React project in 2019, I believe it was built on top of the react-boilerplate template, and the developer experience with Redux was so bad that I became a Vue developer.
