Unsure of what the goal was, here is my objective reaction:
- Navigation was a mystery. How is creations different from software? What is precisouses? I have to click to truly know.
- The site is almost 90% layout and navigation, with maybe 10% from content. I spent most of my time fiddling with the moving menus than I did learning anything about you.
- The additional backwards, up, forward navigation seemed confusing and unnecessary if you went through the trouble of implementing pushState, which you did.
- Copy and paste didn't work anywhere
The node navigation and geometry seems pretty cool, but it probably has more practical applications than a personal website. Content-wise, what I saw could have been better represented as a feed.

My website itself is just peacock feathers.
The engine/CMS powering it is the more interesting part and I agree has other applications. Thanks for the feedback.

The backend appears to have far more potential than is being utilized here. Nice work, though! Impressive.
Indeed there are many possible applications. One is an interactive e-book reader that solves the spatial awareness problem of reading technical material in a digital format.
