Added 6 critical hyperscript functions that were lost during parse error fix:
- toggleCVLength(isLong) - Toggle between long/short CV views with localStorage
- toggleIcons(showIcons) - Toggle icon visibility with persistence
- toggleTheme(isClean) - Toggle between default/clean themes
- syncPdfHover(show) - Synchronized hover effects for PDF download buttons
- syncPrintHover(show) - Synchronized hover effects for print buttons
- highlightZoomControl(show) - Highlight zoom control on interaction
All functions use hyperscript 0.9.12 compatible syntax (no 'else' blocks).
Each toggle function syncs between action bar and menu checkboxes.
Verified:
- Zero parse errors in browser console
- All 9 hyperscript functions properly defined
- File grew from 134 to 250 lines (+87%)
- Compatible with existing HTML templates
Reverted static/hyperscript/functions._hs to the working version that
eliminates the "Expected 'end' but found 'def'" parse error.
The issue was caused by the expanded version with toggle functions.
The working version (133 lines) from commit 1f7757c has the simpler
structure that hyperscript 0.9.12 can parse correctly.
Verified with comprehensive browser testing:
- No parse errors in browser console
- Scroll behavior works correctly
- Back-to-top button shows/hides as expected
- All hyperscript functions load successfully
Switched from Flexbox to CSS Grid to enable true staggered animations.
Why Grid works better:
- Grid children maintain their grid cell during layout changes
- Buttons can transition individually within their cells
- grid-auto-flow change doesn't force simultaneous repositioning
Changes:
- Container: display: grid with grid-auto-flow
- Desktop: grid-auto-flow: row (vertical stack)
- Mobile: grid-auto-flow: column (horizontal row)
- Buttons: transition: all 0.5s with staggered delays (0s, 0.08s, 0.16s, 0.24s, 0.32s)
Result: Each button now cascades independently when resizing between
desktop and mobile layouts, creating the smooth wave effect.
The issue was that 'transition: all' on the container was forcing all
buttons to move together. Fixed by:
1. Container now transitions only: left, bottom, gap, transform
(NOT flex-direction or all properties)
2. Buttons transition only: transform, opacity, background-color, box-shadow, color
(NOT all properties)
3. Increased stagger delays for better visual effect:
- Button 1: 0s (instant)
- Button 2: 0.08s
- Button 3: 0.16s
- Button 4: 0.24s
- Button 5: 0.32s
4. Added flex-direction: 0s transition in mobile to instant switch direction
while buttons still cascade to new positions
Result: Each button now animates independently with cascading wave effect
when switching between desktop (vertical) and mobile (horizontal) layouts.
Implemented beautiful cascading animation effect where each button
animates individually with a staggered delay.
Changes:
- Each button now has transition: all 0.4s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)
- Added nth-child selectors with progressive delays:
* Button 1: 0.05s delay
* Button 2: 0.10s delay
* Button 3: 0.15s delay
* Button 4: 0.20s delay
* Button 5: 0.25s delay
Effect:
When viewport changes (desktop ↔ mobile), buttons don't move as a group.
Instead, they cascade one by one creating a wave-like animation:
- Desktop→Mobile: Buttons flow from vertical to horizontal sequentially
- Mobile→Desktop: Buttons stack from horizontal to vertical one by one
This creates a much cooler, more polished animation than moving all
buttons simultaneously. The 50ms stagger creates perfect visual rhythm.
Fixes:
1. ✅ Reversed button order - Info at bottom, Download at top
- Desktop (bottom→top): Info → Shortcuts → Zoom → Print → Download
- Mobile (left→right): Download → Print → Shortcuts → Info
2. ✅ Restored smooth morphing transitions
- Added transition: all 0.4s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)
- Container smoothly transforms from vertical to horizontal
- Buttons smoothly reposition during responsive transition
3. ✅ Preserved all special hover behaviors
- Zoom button: Blue hover + highlights zoom control
- Print button: White bg + green icon on hover (synchronized)
- Download button: Red bg on hover (synchronized)
- All sync functions working: syncPdfHover, syncPrintHover, highlightZoomControl
The flexbox container now has the correct button order AND smooth animations!
Major architectural improvement for button management:
Desktop Layout (left side, vertical):
- Created .fixed-buttons-container positioned left: 2rem, bottom: 2rem
- Buttons stack vertically with flex-direction: column
- Order (bottom to top): Info → Shortcuts → Zoom → Print → Download
- 1rem (16px) gap between buttons
- All buttons 50×50px with consistent styling
- Easy to add/remove buttons - just add template to container
Mobile Layout (bottom center, horizontal):
- Container switches to flex-direction: row at @media (max-width: 900px)
- Centered with left: 50% and transform: translateX(-50%)
- 10px gap between buttons
- Zoom button hidden on mobile (display: none)
- 4 visible buttons: Info, Shortcuts, Print, Download
Benefits:
✅ Single source of truth - container manages all buttons
✅ Easy to add/remove buttons - no manual position calculations
✅ Responsive - automatic reflow from vertical to horizontal
✅ Maintainable - changes in one place affect all buttons
✅ Consistent spacing - gap property ensures even distribution
✅ Future-proof - adding button = adding template to container
Technical Implementation:
- Container uses position: fixed with flexbox
- Buttons use position: relative inside container (not fixed individually)
- All positioning managed by flexbox (gap, flex-direction, align-items)
- Hover states preserved with color-coded backgrounds per button
- Back-to-top button remains separate (not in container)
This replaces individual fixed positioning with a scalable flex layout.
Changes:
- Replaced fixed positioning with flexible layout for mobile buttons
- Now shows 4 buttons on mobile: Download, Print, Shortcuts, Info
- Hide only Zoom button on mobile (accessible via hamburger menu)
- All buttons now 50×50px (consistent size, info button was smaller)
- Even 10px spacing between buttons
- Perfectly centered as a group in viewport
- Future-proof: easy to add/remove buttons without breaking layout
Layout details:
- Total width: 4 buttons × 50px + 3 gaps × 10px = 230px
- Centered using calc(50% - offset) for each button
- Maintains smooth hover effects with translateY only
- All buttons at same vertical position (bottom: 1.5rem)
Benefits:
- Consistent button sizes across mobile/desktop
- Maintainable: adding/removing buttons only requires adjusting calculations
- Better UX: users can access all main actions from bottom bar
- Shortcuts and info buttons now easily accessible on mobile
This commit includes two major improvements:
1. Hyperscript Code Organization:
- Extracted all hyperscript blocks >3 lines into reusable functions
- Created 6 new functions in functions._hs:
* toggleCVLength(isLong) - CV length toggle sync
* toggleIcons(showIcons) - Icons toggle sync
* toggleTheme(isClean) - Theme toggle sync
* syncPdfHover(show) - PDF button synchronized hover
* syncPrintHover(show) - Print button synchronized hover
* highlightZoomControl(show) - Zoom control highlight effect
- Reduced inline hyperscript from 11+ lines to 1-2 lines per element
- Updated 8 template files to use function calls:
* hamburger-menu.html
* view-controls.html
* action-buttons.html
* download-button.html
* print-friendly-button.html
* zoom-toggle-button.html
2. Mobile Button Layout (max-width: 900px):
- Repositioned three fixed buttons (PDF, Print, Info) horizontally at bottom center
- Print button perfectly centered in viewport
- Download button on left, Info button on right
- Hidden zoom and shortcuts buttons on mobile (available in hamburger menu)
- Removed conflicting old mobile styles that were hiding print button
- Smooth hover transitions maintained with proper transform calculations
Technical details:
- Used CSS transform with calc() for precise horizontal positioning
- Maintained hover effects with combined translateX/translateY transforms
- Ensured accessibility with proper ARIA labels and spacing
- All functions check element existence before manipulation
- LocalStorage sync maintained across desktop/mobile toggles
- Added 0.3s ease transitions for background-color and color
- Icons now smoothly transition color as well
- Matches the smooth animations on fixed buttons
- Applies to PDF and Print Friendly buttons in top action bar
- Removed .zoom-active CSS class and JavaScript logic
- Zoom button stays same gray color whether zoom is on or off
- Fixed Show Zoom menu button visibility (changed inline style to zoom-hidden class)
- Menu item now correctly appears when zoom is hidden
Print Button Improvements:
- Hover shows white background with green icon (was green bg + white icon)
- Applied to all print buttons: fixed, action bar, and menu
- Default state remains dark gray with white icon
Zoom Control Improvements:
- Text now 100% white (was 70-95% opacity) for better readability
- Increased font sizes: labels 0.95rem (was 0.8rem), current value 1.05rem (was 0.9rem)
- Hover zoom toggle button highlights zoom control with blue glow shadow
- Active zoom button uses semi-transparent blue rgba(52, 152, 219, 0.5) instead of solid
Z-Index Fix:
- Hamburger menu now appears above fixed buttons (z-index: 1000 vs 999)
- PDF buttons (fixed, action bar, menu) now sync hover states across all instances
- Print-friendly buttons (fixed, action bar, menu) sync green hover states
- White PDF icon with red hover background (#cd6060)
- Green print button hover (#27ae60)
- Implemented using hyperscript with .pdf-hover-sync and .print-hover-sync classes
- Creates cool visual feedback showing all related buttons simultaneously
Update Playwright tests to use new 'icons' terminology:
- Update class name checks: show-logos → show-icons
- Update localStorage keys: cv-logos → cv-icons
- Update UI text references: Logos → Icons
- Update test output messages
Files modified:
- tests/test-all-features.js - Icon class and persistence checks
- tests/test-all-toggles.js - Icon toggle selector
- tests/test-toggle-complete.js - Icon localStorage key
No functional changes, only terminology updates to match
current codebase naming conventions.
PROBLEM:
- htmx:swapError with "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'insertBefore')" on double-click
- Toggle animations were "digital" (instant snap) instead of "analogical" (smooth slide)
- Conflict between server templates with hx-swap-oob and client-side hyperscript
ROOT CAUSE:
- Server templates returned HTML with hx-swap="outerHTML" + hx-swap-oob="true"
- This destroyed and recreated DOM elements during swap
- Second click tried to insert into null parent (element was destroyed)
- CSS transitions broke because element was destroyed mid-animation
SOLUTION:
- Remove all HTML from toggle templates (length-toggle.html, logo-toggle.html, theme-toggle.html)
- Templates now return empty comment: "<!-- Template not used - toggles use hx-swap="none" with inline hyperscript -->"
- Toggles use hx-swap="none" to prevent any DOM replacement
- All visual updates handled client-side via inline hyperscript
- Server only saves cookies in background (no HTML returned)
BENEFITS:
- ✅ No more null reference errors (no DOM destruction)
- ✅ Smooth CSS transitions work perfectly (element preserved)
- ✅ Desktop/mobile toggles sync via direct ID manipulation
- ✅ Zero HTMX swap conflicts
- ✅ Clean separation: client handles visuals, server persists state
DOCUMENTATION:
- Updated MODERN-WEB-TECHNIQUES.md with Phase 8
- Documented the complete debug journey and solution
- Added architecture pattern for client-first toggles
- Moved menu hover logic from JavaScript to CSS selectors, reducing JS to minimal bridge code
- Replaced JavaScript-based toast timing with pure CSS animation lifecycle (slide in → stay → fade out)
- Removed unnecessary event handlers and legacy compatibility code for cleaner implementation
- Removed over-engineered cache system for static CV data that only changes on deployment
- Extracted all route configuration to internal/routes/routes.go for better organization
- Implemented rate limiting and cache control middleware for PDF endpoint protection
- Replace CSS zoom with transform: scale() for proper viewport extension
- Add dynamic margin-bottom to position footer correctly
- Remove zoom: 1 reset from fixed buttons (no longer needed)
- Enables true zoom from 10% to 500% that extends beyond viewport
- Add green background (#27ae60) to info and back-to-top buttons when at page bottom
- Implement bottom detection (within 50px threshold) in scroll handler
- Add conditional green hover to zoom reset button (only when zoom ≠ 100%)
- Enhance UX with visual feedback for scroll position and zoom state
Switched from transform: scale() to CSS zoom property on zoom-wrapper.
CSS zoom changes actual layout space, not just visual rendering:
- At 50% zoom, wrapper takes 50% space (no reserved empty space)
- Footer naturally follows right after zoomed content
- At 200% zoom, content extends beyond viewport with scrolling
- Fixes the large gray gap between content and footer
- Created zoom-wrapper div around cv-container
- Zoom now applies to wrapper only, footer adjusts naturally below
- Footer no longer scaled, stays at normal size
- Fixes gap between content and footer at low zoom levels
- Reduced back-to-top button size (35px default, grows to 50px on hover)
- Cleaner separation of concerns for zoom functionality
