Creating a Personal "Chat App" Portfolio
Recently, someone asked how I made my portfolio website: http://www.granthpark.me/, so I thought I’d share some simplified markup. I used AngularJS, CSS3, and HTML5 to make my site. Here’s what the simplified version looks like.
HTML
<div class=”rotate”>
<div class=”iphone6-plus”>
<div class=”screen”>
<div class=”messenger-app noscrollbar” id="messenger">
<div class=”bubble”>Hello there!</div>
<div class=”bubble”>Howdy!</div>
</div>
<div class=”interface”>
<input type=”text” name=”textfield” placeholder=”Write here…” class=”field” id="input"></input>
<button onclick="send()" type=”submit” class=”send” id="submit">Send</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class=”button”></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.rotate {
transform: perspective(1500px) rotateX(15deg) rotate(0);
}
.iphone6-plus {
background-color: ghostwhite;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 400px;
height: 720px;
border-radius: 30px;
padding-top: 30px;

}
.iphone6-plus:after {

JS
var send = function() {
var inputValue = document.getElementById(“input”).value;
var div = document.createElement(‘div’);
div.className = “bubble”;
div.textContent = inputValue;
document.getElementById(“messenger”).appendChild(div);
}
