Hello everyone in the Dev.to community. I recently created a personal website to share basic information about myself including the books I am reading.
I am early into my software career and know that feedback is the best way to improve. If you have a moment to look at the site and/or the two repositories I would appreciate any feedback, improvements, or mistakes. Thank you in advance.
Site: http://devinwagner.tech
Front End Repo: https://github.com/dwagner003/wagner-website-backend
Back End Repo: https://github.com/dwagner003/wagner-website
The site uses Angular and Bootstrap for the front end. Node.js for the back end with Sequelize to communicate to the MySQL database. Authentication is done via Auth0 and allows a logged in user to add, edit, or remove books. Currently I am the only user than can login for this functionality.
I hosted the app with Heroku and set up Kaffeine to ping the repo's every 30 minutes to keep them from going to sleep during the day.

Just some minor things I would update :-)
I would also try to increase the overall readability of the texts. When there are bigger text blocks it get's hard to read imo.
Thank you Tortsen, the feedback is great!
More importantly than all of the features, you should expect your clients will, at some point, stumble across your site and read it. With that in mind, I would say that even more important than any of the features is ensuring that you maintain a professional appearance. So, I would run through your entire site and check to make sure that you are using proper grammar. (On the landing page alone, you have at least 1 grammatical error in every paragraph)
Hope this is helpful, and I really respect you for your bravery and willingness to accept criticism on your personal site.
Thanks for mentioning that. I was in such a hurry that I did not see all the mistakes. Much appreciated Griffin.
