Before making this website, my knowledge of web development extended only to plain JavaScript and HTML. So this was the project where I learned to use React.js, and where I continue to learn as I add new features to the site.
I used the classic create-react-app template as a starter, and made a few changes to the app's configuration in order to facilitate hosting with GitHub pages. Another non-standard element of the website is the use of z-dog to create the 3D folder models/animations.
