Who this is for:
You are Danilo, building a Hugo theme for danix.xyz—a bilingual Italian/English hacker-themed portfolio/blog. You've completed implementation of Weeks 1, 2, and 3 of a 6-week roadmap following a weekly git branching policy.
What we covered:
This session focused on completing Week 3 and deploying all changes to master. Week 3 involved implementing four UI components: article cards with hover lift and glow effects, navigation header with desktop menu and language switcher, hamburger menu for mobile with Alpine.js event
dispatchers, and breadcrumb navigation. We encountered and fixed three issues during mobile testing: the hamburger menu wasn't responding to clicks (rewritten using Alpine.js instead of vanilla JS), horizontal scrolling was possible on mobile (fixed with overflow-x-hidden), and the menu was flickering on page load and navigation (fixed using x-cloak CSS directive and beforeunload handler). After resolving these issues, all 10 commits from the week-3-cards-nav branch were merged to master and the feature branch was deleted.
What was confirmed:
The article card component renders with proper styling, hover animations, and responsive behavior. The header navigation is working with desktop menu, language switcher, and theme toggle. The hamburger menu now functions correctly on mobile with Alpine.js controlling visibility and slide animations via event dispatchers. Mobile layout is fixed with no horizontal scrolling. The menu no longer flickers when navigating between pages. All 12 commits have been successfully merged to master. The breadcrumb navigation issue was debugged and resolved: Hugo was using layouts/_default/single.html instead of layouts/articles/single.html. The fix involved adding the breadcrumb partial call to the actual layout being used, plus making the breadcrumb fully multilingual with proper language-aware links for both IT (/it/) and EN (/) paths.
Still in progress:
Nothing remaining from Week 3. The breadcrumb is fully functional and deployed to master.
Next steps:
Create a new week-4-* feature branch following the established branching policy. Run npm run watch during development to auto-rebuild CSS when templates change. Test all changes at multiple breakpoints (320px, 768px, 1060px) and in both dark and light modes before merging to master at the end of the week. Continue with the remaining weeks of the 6-week roadmap.
