Project overview

MidnightDesk Main Site Rebuild is a reorganization of midnightdesk.com. It turns the older, looser pages into a clearer personal portfolio space for projects, notes, updates, and the directions Jason Dong is working on over time.

Why the rebuild began

The older site felt more like a temporary entrance, with a visible tool-like quality and traces of development work. It could hold things, but it was not very suitable as a long-term public personal website.

This rebuild therefore tried to make MidnightDesk clearer and easier for outside readers to understand: visitors should not need to know the development process behind it in order to see what work is here, where it came from, and why it is worth keeping.

Main changes

The new main site is organized around Work, Notes, Updates, and About. The page structure is clearer, and each project page keeps more complete background, process, and status information.

At the same time, the bilingual copy, page hierarchy, navigation, and visual rhythm were reorganized so the site no longer feels like an internal tool or temporary display page, but closer to a personal portfolio that can continue to grow.

Current status

This main site rebuild has been completed and publicly published. The current version will serve as the basis for MidnightDesk to continue expanding.

Later updates will focus more on the content itself: new work, prepared notes, project progress, and necessary improvements to page details.

What can grow next

Later, MidnightDesk can continue to add fuller project pages, notes that are ready, and short records around the process of moving work forward.
