Sixian's personal website

In 2019, I built my old blog. Orange was the primary color, bold and vibrant. The beautiful epicycle drawing animation that I'm still proud of today was inspired by 3Blue1Brown and Coding Train. Over the past few years, I have grown, and my mindset has changed. This time, when I decided to rebuild my blog, I make it monochrome and put some cool visual effects in more subtle places, focusing on simplicity and readability.

I still love orange, but I found monochrome to be more timeless and peaceful.
