notakrista.com

A unified personal brand, landing page, and application hub for Jorge Thomas (akrista). This project consolidates standalone tools and profiles into a single production application built with Laravel, replacing the previous Astro-based architecture.

Overview

The primary goal of notakrista.com is to serve as the canonical entry point for my online identity, hosting tools, project showcases, and personal support pages.

Due to structural damages sustained during the 2026-06-24 earthquake in Venezuela, the site will prominently feature a dedicated funding and support section to coordinate donations.

Additionally, the project involves migrating and consolidating existing standalone tools—such as the Todoticket calculator currently built in Astro—into a single Laravel backend to simplify deployment and maintenance.
