YeJian is a personal diary/blog built on WordPress using the customized Diaspora theme. It features a visually elegant design with automatic day/night mode switching based on time, animated loading screens (rain, snow, confetti, orbs), and smooth parallax effects.

The site goes beyond a typical blog by incorporating interactive systems including an emotion diary tracker (recording moods on a -5 to +5 scale with corresponding music playlists), a daily quiz/trial system that tests visitors’ knowledge about you, and a real-time message board for visitor interactions.
The website is designed with a distinctly personal and atmospheric aesthetic, featuring glitch text effects, glassmorphism UI elements, smooth CSS animations, and a cohesive Japanese-inspired font styling.
