Absolutely love the animated project thumbnails, and this blog post showing before and after pictures. Definitely somehow link/showcase this blog post as one of your projects. And thanks for mentioning me, It was neat to remember this.

cool:

  • project gif thumbnails, love love love these
  • slide-in animations, snappy enough to not be slow and thus bothersome
  • call-to-action "projects" button

improvements i think:

  • remove the search bar above the projects: The gallery view is good enough when you just have 12 projects. Searching is nice when I know what I'm looking for, but in this situation I'm more in a "discovery" mode.
  • I recommend adding short tags to each project for what tech/packages they use.
  • Consider also providing links to repos for projects so we can see the code.
  • I'd make the social buttons at the bottom of your contact page stand out more.

Thanks a lot for checking out the re-visited version! 🙏💖
Also, just for the reference I thought your original comment needed some credit, so I embedded it directly in the post for those who did not read the original article 👍
And so nice to get further feedback, I will see what I can use when I have collected enough ideas to do round 2 😉 Thanks a lot! 🙏💖
