Justin Gianfelice — Personal Site

A dark, editorial personal website with a live 3D market-surface hero, reading content live from your Notion workspace.

STEP-BY-STEP: Run it on your machine

You have Node installed, so this is quick.

1. Unzip the folder

Unzip jgianfelice-site.zip somewhere easy to find, like your Desktop.

2. Open Terminal IN that folder

• Open Terminal
• Type cd (with a space after cd)
• Drag the unzipped jgianfelice-site folder onto the Terminal window — it pastes the path
• Press Enter

You should now be "inside" the folder.

3. Install (only needed once)

Paste this and press Enter:

npm install

Wait for it to finish (a minute or two).

4. Add your Notion token

• Find the file called .env.local.example in the folder
• Make a copy of it and rename the copy to exactly .env.local
• Open it in any text editor
• Replace ntn_your_token_here with your actual Notion token (the ntn_... one)
• Save

The site works without this — you'll just see placeholder content until the Notion connection is wired in the next build pass.

5. Start it

Paste this and press Enter:

npm run dev

When it says Ready, open your browser to:

http://localhost:3000

That's it. You'll see the site.

What to do next

Take screenshots of what you see — the hero, the scroll, anything that looks off — and send them back. That's how we refine it to the final bar.

To stop the server: click the Terminal and press Ctrl + C. To start it again later: just npm run dev from the folder.
