Welcome to JoeGallina.com
The Charisma Gallery (in React!) is
absolutely everything the original Charisma Gallery is, except
rebuilt using the full MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, and
Node)! This Gallery migration and Demo creation was completed in
August 2025 over a period of about three weeks.
Everything from the original Charisma Gallery has been meticulously and faithfully recreated to take full advantage of a SPA React application! Hooks, State, you name it, I did what I could to include it using best practices.
Make sure to visit the Charisma Gallery (in React!) Demo to experience all that it has to offer, including the vistor-facing and administrative-facing views! As before, this Demo is styled as minimalistic as possible. Keep in mind that all colors, positioning, and data can be configurable upon deployment (by me) to truly make your gallery one-of-a-kind!

The Charisma Gallery is an user-controlled,
"no-code", self-service, online gallery that allows the site owner
(or content manager, web administrator, etc.) to effortlessly upload
and manage their own web gallery content, with no knowledge of HTML,
CSS, JavaScript, databases, FTP, programming, scripting, or anything
else! This Gallery and Demo was completed in July 2025.
After initial web hosting and database setup (done by me, Joe Gallina) to make sure everything is configured properly for your requirements and needs, the site owner (or manager, administrator, etc.) uses two simple, browser-based, password-protected web forms to create, view, update, and remove gallery content--one form for creating new gallery content, and another form for everything else! Gallery specifics can include a multitude of options (configurable at the time of hosting setup), including imagery, descriptions, dimensions, statistics, order of appearance, and even hiding items without having to delete them entirely. The web forms handle everything, from behind-the-scenes database updates, to image uploading and removal--no technical expertise nor special software required!
The visitor-facing gallery includes a minimalistic, easy-to-use interface that puts your content front-and-center. Simple sorting options and navigation buttons encourage visitors to explore your content, which looks great through any browser, and on any device.

Imagine your artisty (visual or written) online instantly and available to everyone, with updates made on-demand, as often as you require, with nothing in your way!

The EDCLV'25 Financial Planner was a quick
site I made to help myself and my fellow festival goers plan
financially for the Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas music festival
in 2025. It uses local storage to store data much like you would a
spreadsheet, which is exactly what this site was meant to replace.
This simple site contains four (4) files: the HTML index, a vanilla
JavaScript file, the CSS stylesheet, and the logo. This website has
not been posted to GitHub, but feel free to view the source, as it
is very simple.
