Updated

Oct 10, 2026

Same planet. Different corners.

Added a draggable, slowly rotating dotted globe with San Francisco and approximate visitor locations, plus time-based Sun and Moon directions and daylight shading.
Made the second introduction chapter zoom toward both locations and connect them with a dotted line, with a wider view when scrolling back.
Refined the bio slider to start at the longest preview, shorten when dragged left, and open About at the full-bio endpoint. Added a responsive animated sculpture and more breathing room around the copy.
Added color-cycling background shimmer, clean crossfading personality headings, and a smoother photo-stack shuffle.
Integrated the homepage footer with the social section, reordered social links, widened the Claw Quant heading, and refined mobile spacing, pause controls, and reduced-motion behavior.

A different kind of hello

Rebuilt the homepage opening around three short scroll chapters, oversized type, an animated orbital sculpture, and a short-to-long bio slider.
Added floating graphic treatments across the homepage while preserving project swiping, standalone pages, and search infrastructure.
Made the opening render directly from HTML and CSS before React loads, deferred carousel photos until needed, and added reduced-motion, keyboard, and no-JavaScript fallbacks.

A more discoverable website

Added build-time rendering so public pages include readable content, headings, and links before JavaScript loads, while keeping React and Cloudflare Pages.
Unified page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, Open Graph and Twitter sharing metadata across initial loads and navigation.
Added a dedicated About page and consistent Person, ProfilePage, article, project, website, and breadcrumb structured data using existing biographical facts.
Generated the sitemap from public routes, kept robots.txt aligned, excluded drafts and utility pages from indexing, and replaced soft 404s with real missing-page responses.
Improved internal links, article author credits, semantic headings, image descriptions, and responsive WebP delivery with image dimensions to limit layout shifts.
Prepared search-engine verification and optional IndexNow notifications, preserved original article dates, and verified the mattschueren.com redirect keeps paths on the canonical domain.
Validated production HTML, metadata, links, schema, routing, and mobile layouts. Local mobile Lighthouse scored 99 for performance and 100 for accessibility, best practices, and SEO; real-world results may vary.

Launched updated personal website

Behind the website

A static site with a live side.

React and Vite handle the pages. Pushing to GitHub triggers a Cloudflare Pages build, while Pages Functions run on Cloudflare’s Workers platform to bring outside data into the site.

Markets & bot updates

A quote endpoint pulls Yahoo Finance prices for The Matt Index. Claw Quant reads a separate Cloudflare Worker bridge, combining public signals and trade history while filtering out private and shadow activity.

Scores & project feeds

The Sleeper integration assembles my roster, matchup, and scores. Discord feeds are fetched server-side, so the bot token stays out of the browser. The fantasy and quant dashboards check for updates every minute; these are refreshed feeds, not streaming connections.

Keeping requests light

Cache settings reduce repeated upstream requests, including a longer cache for Sleeper’s player directory. When a source fails, the dashboards show an unavailable or paused state.
