Looks clean. Biggest critique I have is that I think you should make your projects more easily visible. It was jaring to get to your home page, try scrolling to see more, have it not work, then have to search the UI for where I could see your work. Maybe just put that page of projects additionally at the bottom of your main page. Also I'd suggest adding more visual distinction between your projects. The only difference is their text, which requires reading each one to distingush them. Maybe add a bit of a picture to each one, either a picture of the project or some releated image off of unsplash.

Looks good!

Thanks for the valuable feedback! 😉

During development, I had the same thought to make a landing page scrollable, where I would present just 3-4 highlights for each section and then add 'view more' that would open the respective section with all the content. That's a nice point, as most of the portfolios are like that.

About the project's images. At one point in the development, I had listed the projects as a title and image. It was really easy to tell right away what each project looks like and what it's about (especially since most of the visuals were GIFs). But I went with the text and description as it's the main theme throughout the whole portfolio. Same for the Blog articles not showing preview images.

I still have the code for that, so I might switch back to that in the future.
