This is a website to document Foster Phillips' (OfflineRocket's) accomplishments. Go to the projects page to see all my projects.
Mainly, I want to consolidate my work onto one central place. I currently have had my projects spread out around different platforms, which becomes difficult to track. It's difficult to point people to a place to show my projects, especially since previously the most central place was Instagram, which fewer and fewer people are using.
The goal of this website is to be made to be simple, it's just a static website, programmed and written by myself. The only use of AI in this development is for tedious tasks like CSS, otherwise I intend to keep as much control of this website as possible, for my own growth. After trying to find tools or examples to make a website, I couldn't find anything I liked. Of course, this could lead it to be rough around the edges, however I quite like how it has turned out. My goal is to have this as self-relying as possible, the only exception is that it's hosted externally on Cloudflare, to protect my own network. I don't want to rely on other website hosts, as it may introduce unreliability (in other words, the supply chain is simple, Cloudflare is the only link in the chain, and they have a proven uptime track record)
There's a few reasons, but primarily it can be boiled down to missing the older internet that was personalized. I've always liked carving my own path, and have wanted a website that represents me. Plus, I like how lightweight a static site is, no popups or cookies, just plain information.
The website attempts to mix some of the old design elements (such as the raytraced backgrounds), with some newer elements like simpler interfaces. I attempt to make it look nice, and accomodate anyone, however I am not always the best at it. Please realize that I am designing this myself, from scratch, which means this won't be perfect.
Previously known as Lego_Rocket, I have rebranded to OfflineRocket. Why? Well the main reason is if I ever make myself known enough, Lego has full rights to come after me, so I've been debating a rebrand for a while. I always like having a shortform version of my name, so I wanted to keep the [Blank]_Rocket form factor. Eventually I settled on Offline, this is because while I'm often online, I want to be known for the things I do Offline. I ended up removing the underscore as it became annoying to have to specify it
