🕹️ History of Game Consoles – A Visual Timeline Powered by Storyblok

This is a submission for the Storyblok Challenge

💡 What I Built

My project is a visual timeline of video game consoles, where each card displays the name, release year, image, and description of a classic console.

The goal was to create a responsive and visually engaging experience, without needing to update the code every time I wanted to add or edit consoles.

All content is powered by Storyblok, which serves as a headless CMS to feed the timeline with console data.

I used Swiper.js to build the visual carousel and enable smooth slide transitions.

📚 Learnings and Takeaways

• I learned how to integrate Storyblok with a pure frontend project, no frameworks involved
