Capibarismo: The Capybara Philosophy

Description

Capibarismo is a leisure and experimental project created out of a personal appreciation for the “chill” nature of capybaras. The goal was to translate this relaxed philosophy into a digital experience, resulting in a landing page that is both fun and technically optimized. It serves as a playground for testing modern web patterns and performance-first architectures.

Key Features:

  • Creative & Relaxed Narrative: Curated content and aesthetics designed to convey the peaceful community spirit of the capybara culture.
  • High-Performance Architecture: Built using Astro to leverage static HTML delivery with Zero-JS by default, achieving perfect scores on performance benchmarks.
  • Minimalist Aesthetic: A clean, modern UI built with Tailwind CSS, focusing on white space, typography, and mobile-first accessibility.

Technologies used:

  • Frontend: Astro, Tailwind CSS.
  • Iconografía: Lucide .
  • Despliegue: Cloudflare Pages (CI/CD).
  • Environment: Node.js / Bun.
  • Deployment: Hosted on Cloudflare Pages with an automated CI/CD pipeline.

Project Role:

  • This was a solo recreational project. I handled everything from the initial concept and visual identity to the technical implementation. I used this project as an opportunity to experiment with the latest Astro features and Tailwind styling techniques without the constraints of a commercial brief.

Impact:

While created for fun, Capibarismo demonstrates my ability to apply professional standards to personal projects. It showcases a high level of attention to detail, SEO optimization, and a deep understanding of the modern web stack.
