What this is

A trilingual (🇬🇧 / 🇷🇺 / 🇨🇳) single-page portfolio with 8 fully distinct themes — each one a genuine experience, not a recolor — plus a set of self-contained mini-apps written from scratch in Rust → WebAssembly. No React. No Tailwind. Static HTML with Vue islands only where interactivity earns its keep.

The full story of the rebuild — dropping React, dropping Tailwind, the Astro 4→7 jump, the domain move, the flaky-internet war — is on the blog: Reborn.

✨ Highlights

• 8 themes, each with its own type, motion and easter eggs: Modern (Swiss editorial), Snackers, Windows 11, macOS 26, Windows 95 (with a BSOD egg), Mac Classic, Classic (2016–18), Terminal — light/dark where it fits.
• Astro islands architecture — the page ships as static HTML; a single client:only="vue" mounts the interactive app. State lives in three tiny Pinia stores (theme · mode · locale).
• Trilingual content (ru / en / zh) via a hand-rolled i18n layer, split into per-section files, with a build-time key-parity check.
• A theme-aware blog with search, tags, reading time and true per-post localization (translationKey keeps you on the same article when you switch language).
• A private, author-only Content Studio editor (/editor) — live Markdown preview, tag chips, auto "last edited" date, export to Markdown/Astro.
• Data-driven Projects / Labs / Friends / Inspirations / Communities / Achievements — adding an entry is copying one object.
• Live GitHub stats refreshed by a cron (see below): total stars / forks / followers, per-repo stars · forks · open issues+PRs · latest release, a language breakdown and an estimated lines-of-code count.
• Dual licensing, made explicit — a human-readable /license page covering both the code (VKPPL) and the writing (VAI Content License).
• A machine-readable profile for AI agents at /llms.txt.

🧪 Labs — mini-apps (Rust + Leptos → WASM)

Each lab lives in projects/<name>/ and builds with trunk build --release straight into public/files/<name>/.

🛠 Tech

Site: Astro 7 · Vue 3.5 + Pinia 3 · TypeScript 7 · Vite 8 · modular CSS-token themes (no Tailwind, no CSS framework — just variables and discipline). Labs: Rust · Leptos 0.6 (CSR) · Trunk · WebAssembly. Tooling: Bun · Zod-validated content collections · a custom build-verify test (tests/build-check.mjs). Infra: GitHub Actions (deploy · label sync · stats cron, all on the latest action majors) · Dependabot · GitHub Pages + Cloudflare DNS (DNS-only).

📊 Live stats

.github/workflows/stats.yml runs scripts/update-stats.mjs every 6 hours (and on demand). It walks the GitHub API across every owned repo, aggregates total stars / forks / followers, a language breakdown by bytes (with estimated lines of code), and per-repo stats — stars, forks, open issues + PRs, and the latest release tag. The result is committed to public/data/stats.json; the site reads that JSON at runtime, so numbers stay fresh with zero per-visitor API calls and no rate limits. If GitHub's API is down, the site degrades gracefully to the last good snapshot. The data is public: /data/stats.json.

🗂 Structure

src/
  components/sections/   # one Vue component per page section
  data/                  # editable data (projects, labs, friends, achievements, …)
  i18n/translations/     # ru/ en/ zh — one file per section, merged in index.ts
  styles/themes/         # one CSS file per theme
  pages/                 # index · blog · editor · license (Astro)
  content/blog/          # trilingual Markdown posts (Zod-validated)
projects/{horizon,justcode,terminal}/   # Rust/WASM mini-apps
scripts/update-stats.mjs # GitHub stats generator (cron)
tests/build-check.mjs    # build + SEO + i18n-parity + 404 verifier
public/                  # static assets, CNAME, favicons, /data/stats.json, /llms.txt

🚀 Develop

bun install
bun run dev        # local dev
bun run build      # → dist/ (runs postbuild)
bun run verify     # build output + SEO + i18n parity + broken-link check

Build a lab:

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown   # once
cargo install trunk --locked               # once
cd projects/horizon && trunk build --release

✅ Verify

bun run verify (after a build) checks the dist/ output for: required pages & assets, SEO essentials (OG banner, JSON-LD, sitemap, robots, CNAME), that every blog post exists in ru/en/zh, that i18n keys are in parity across all three languages, and that there are no broken internal links. It's the gate the deploy pipeline runs too.

🌍 Deploy

Pushing to main (or the stats cron committing) triggers GitHub Actions → GitHub Pages. Custom domain vai-rice.space via public/CNAME + Cloudflare DNS (DNS-only). Pages source must be set to GitHub Actions.

Check that CI actions are on their latest versions:

grep -rh 'uses:' .github/workflows | sort -u          # what you pin now
gh api repos/actions/checkout/releases/latest -q .tag_name   # latest upstream tag
