New Portfolio - Restricted Case Study

So, uh, fun fact: if you, at any point, will need password protection on your site, don't use a static site generator!

Yeah, this came to bite me in the ass. After spending a few weeks creating an entire site in Jekyll, I realized there was no real way to implement password protection without a backend of some sort. Oops. You learn.

Anyways, I didn't want to take people out of the flow of the website just because a case study was password protected, so I decided to use the same layout as my unrestricted pages, but replace the body copy with some glitchy, garbled, Missingno-esque text.

Tiny detail: if you watch closely, the text in the input doesn't clear out until after the rubber band animation has "wound up".
