senior 1fa64edd4f Address QA review: tag contrast, lede width, link rel, story spacing
- Bump tech-tag text color to --tag-fg (#8a929e dark / #57606a light) and
  raise opacity to 0.95 so chips stay legible on the dark card background
- Give .section-lede display:block + max-width:60ch so the italic intro
  reads as a lede paragraph rather than a stretched heading
- Add margin-block-start (0.5rem) to .card-story so the project name
  doesn't crowd the story
- Add rel="noopener noreferrer" to all external GitHub links
  (card-link, section-link, footer) for external-link hardening
- Section ordering already matches the issue spec; Ethereum infra has
  only stakingtracker — confirmed no stale/duplicated entry

senior a23c8ee0e5 Redesign homepage into personal showcase with project stories
Replace technical card descriptions with first-person project stories
(maintainer's voice, verbatim) and add italic section intros (ledes).
Soften the layout: larger readable story text, generous whitespace,
de-emphasized muted tech tags, subtle GitHub links under each story.
Keep dark mode + mobile friendly; Dockerfile and footer unchanged.

Hi, I'm ffaerber. This is my corner of the internet — a self-hosted homepage
running on my homelab. I tinker with containers, Gitea, and anything that runs
on a quiet box in the corner.

More coming soon. In the meantime, you can find my code over on Gitea.
