Make this terminal yours.

This is the original LukeThompson.ai design, shared by Luke as a template. His public profile is the example content. Keep the visual treatment and deliberate reveal timing; replace the identity, photo, claims, and links with your own.

1. Make the identity yours

Ask Base44 to replace Luke's name, biography, company, achievements, metrics, contact details, social links, keywords, and copyright throughout Home, HeroSection, AboutSection, About, ContactSection, Contact, CommandOutput, Blog, and BlogPost. Replace every sample claim with something true about you.

2. Replace the portrait

In AboutSection, change the image URL, alt text, filename, and size label. Upload your own image. Keep the eight-second hex decoding reveal, CRT scanlines, monospace type, spacing, and black-and-green palette.

3. Add your projects

Edit src/content/portfolio.js. Every project has a name, description, type, status, color, href, clickable, sort_order, and active. Use clickable: false for a classified project. The projects query is intentional presentation; it reads the bundled content and needs no database setup.

4. Publish writing

The original blog is empty. Add records to the posts array in src/content/portfolio.js with published: true, a unique slug, title, Markdown content, excerpt, published_date, tags, reading_time_minutes, and your author details. Blog and BlogPost already render these records.

5. Check and publish

Check Home, About, Contact, Blog, a blog post, and a missing post on desktop and mobile. Run the projects query, open a classified project, close it with Escape, and check every real destination. Replace Luke's example links before publishing your clone.

No backend setup required.

Projects and writing ship in the source, so a clone works without backend functions, secrets, paid integrations, or private records. There is no message form: contact links open your email application or social profile. Browser popup restrictions may show a final Continue link after the original connection sequence.
