I spent the past six months working on this site. I was curious enough to build it from scratch because I didn’t want to rely on pre-existing templates (though I am not opposed to them, even if Cargo and Readymag do charge for the good ones). I believe that websites have evolved into the first interaction a visitor has with the organization, company, or person they are attempting to reach. Over time, this has evolved from verbal to physical to digital forms. Therefore, a digital interface feels like a necessity for a professional to build their network and initiate collaboration.
I built this with Vanilla JavaScript (ES6+), pure CSS, and HTML5 using Vite. The 3D geometry is rendered via Three.js (WebGL), featuring procedural canvas cursors and real-time live chat powered by Supabase. Completely developed as a template-free passion project through natural prompting (apparently, people are calling it "vibe coding"). The project utilized AI-assisted workflows (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Nemotron, and Qwen in Antigravity IDE & VS Code).
I hope you had fun lurking through this. Apologies if you experience issues on your mobile device, as this website was specifically designed for a 1920x1080 resolution; it is best experienced on a laptop.
Yours sincerely,
Kaushil M

The "Socratic way of knowing" is known as the Socratic Method. It is a way of seeking truth through dialogue and questions instead of just giving lectures.
