2. Tech Tooltips Implementation

Elegant Hover System:

.tech-pill {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-flex;
  align-items: center;
  gap: 0.25rem;

  .info-icon {
    display: inline-flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    width: 14px;
    height: 14px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    background: var(--color-secondary);
    color: white;
    font-size: 10px;
    cursor: help;
  }

  .tech-tooltip {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: calc(100% + 8px);
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
    background: var(--color-ink);
    color: white;
    padding: var(--space-2) var(--space-3);
    border-radius: 4px;
    font-size: 0.85rem;
    white-space: nowrap;
    opacity: 0;
    pointer-events: none;
    transition: opacity 0.2s;
    z-index: 100;

    &::after {
      content: '';
      position: absolute;
      top: 100%;
      left: 50%;
      transform: translateX(-50%);
      border: 4px solid transparent;
      border-top-color: var(--color-ink);
    }
  }

  .info-icon:hover + .tech-tooltip {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

3. Spanish Accounts Instagram Verification

Verification Process:

Phase 1: Audit (20:37 PM)

Discovered 303 incorrectly mapped YouTube URLs
Removed all incorrect mappings
Cleaned 192 broken/inactive links
Established clean baseline

Phase 2: Manual Verification (20:55 PM - 21:48 PM)

# Systematic verification process:
# 1. Search account name on Instagram
# 2. Verify official account (blue checkmark)
# 3. Check follower count and activity
# 4. Cross-reference with official website
# 5. Add URL to database

# Results:
Wave 1:  22 accounts verified
Wave 2:  31 accounts verified
Wave 3:  20 accounts verified (72.9% total)
Wave 4:  10 accounts verified (73.5% total)
Wave 5:   9 accounts verified (74.0% total)
Wave 6:  56 accounts verified (76.8% total)
Wave 7:   2 accounts verified (final)

Total:  164 Instagram URLs added

Data Quality Improvements:

# Enhanced account entries
spanish_accounts:
  - name: "Coca-Cola Mexico"
    category: "brands"
    description: "Leading beverage brand in Mexico"
    youtube_url: "https://www.youtube.com/@CocaColaMexico"
    instagram_url: "https://www.instagram.com/cocacolamexico/"
    verified: true
    follower_count: "2.1M"
    last_verified: "2025-09-11"

Single Column Decision:

// Before: Grid caused readability issues
.projects-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(300px, 1fr));
  gap: var(--space-4);
}

// After: Single column for better readability
.projects-list {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: var(--space-5);

  .project-card {
    max-width: 100%;
    padding: var(--space-5);
  }
}

Modal Styling for Development Histories:

.dev-history-modal {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  z-index: 1000;

  .modal-content {
    background: white;
    padding: var(--space-5);
    border-radius: 8px;
    max-width: 800px;
    max-height: 80vh;
    overflow-y: auto;

    h2 {
      margin-bottom: var(--space-4);
    }

    .timeline {
      border-left: 3px solid var(--color-accent);
      padding-left: var(--space-4);

      .phase {
        margin-bottom: var(--space-4);

        h3 {
          color: var(--color-accent);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Technical Decisions Made

Decision: Manual Instagram Verification

Rationale: Automated verification would risk adding fake/inactive accounts. Manual verification ensured quality data despite time investment.

Decision: Single Column Layout for Projects

Rationale: Project cards contain significant content (tech stack, features, histories). Single column provides better readability than cramped grid.

Rationale: Bottom-up tooltips prevent overlap with content below. Arrow indicator provides clear visual connection.

Lessons Learned
