What I liked:

• The speed of the site.
• How clean the site is. Dark grey and white have always worked well when it comes to contrast. Your image fits right into the hero area.
• Animations on load and the ones that show your interests after it has loaded, to make it look interactive.
• Social links are well placed and with great contrast and I like how they are stuck regardless of a scroll position.
• Modals to view project, great to get details fast.

Some ideas I would consider:

• Set the background color to white for your header and increase the z-index so the header is always at the top when on screens around 1000px and scrolling. The same goes for the footer.
• Set darker top navigation text color, to match the color of your main text in the hero area. I would also bold them, and probably change the font style. I would do the same for the footer text as well in the bottom left.
• When using media breaks for projects, go from 3-2-1 rather than 3-1 as it is now, somewhere around 580px width, the text on them does not fit.
• I would build the custom contact form with name, email, message, rather than using 3rd party solution with multiple steps. That way it would be more intuitive, fill up the field you have left for contacts better and users would be more willing to fill it.
• Also when resizing, you put social media icons and copyright above each other. I would leave them the same size as they are on the desktop version and put proper padding for them, so it goes well with your overall layout of the site.

Loved your site 🥳
Just a small thing, when hovering over a link, even though it changes colour, it sometimes feels weird and not sure if it is even a link or not.
So maybe adding an underline or changing the mouse cursor or something like that?

Very cool...

Inspiring.

What I liked:

• Loads almost instantly.
• Resume type of portfolio. Pretty unique.
• Your image and position to introduce yourself.
• The font looks clean.
• Good for responsive screens.

Some ideas I would consider:

• The dark brown background is not the best you can get for contrast for the white font. I would try some darker shades.
• Set the section titles (Experience, Subscribe, and The latest) the same size as your name is at the top. They each start new sections and therefore need to be more highlighted.
• Try to give some different colors for links you use, rather than white, to give more accents to your site. Do the same for the subscribe button, as well. Set them all to the Red you use. Or step outside and use some bright green or blue.
• I would remove the background color you use for 1 Thing A Week panel. If you, by all means, want to keep it, set it to a way darker color, so it goes well together with the background, and use it on the Experience and Subscribe blocks too. Leave both Intro paragraphs and 'More from' as they are.
• The emojis you use would look better if you would use them in native colors. They would look especially good on the darker color background as I noted in #1.

Lovely.

Overall I like the site, looks very clean and gives great UX.

• Remove that animation in the Hero area. If you want to display your roles, display them as static text in the same dark grey.
• Remove the social media buttons from the sidebar. You already use them in the Hero area.
• Avoid the skills percentages. It's not possible to measure them anyways.
• The blue used in the Timeline should be the same as in the other sections.
• There is a typo on the resume title.

Good job on laying out the content. HTML side is already there. For CSS I would try to do a full re-design, use dribbble.com, behance.net, and Pinterest to inspire you.

What I liked:

• The white and blue used to split the screen.
• Nice hover effects in the navigation and portfolio items.
• Section title fonts and creative styling.
• Clean looking Projects and Contact pages.
• Great UX thanks to smooth transitions through white.

Some ideas I would consider:

• That grey shade on the HERO page does not fit with the white and blue you use. Set the text in the hero section to plain black (keep the name blue) and do the same for non-active icons at the right. It would look much more cleaner.
• Add some hover effects for the 'More' and 'Send Message' buttons as well. Like, change the color to a lighter/darker shade of blue.
• Set that dark grey you use to a plain black in the About Me section for Personal Information and Main Skills. That is crucial info, that needs to be highlighted.
• Each project would need some more description. Whether or hover or even better on the modal that pops up when you click on a particular project.
• Your mobile menu has a Blog section, which does not work. Check your console. Once you fix it include it in the desktop version as well.

Awesome. Really Cool.

Good enough for the start. I see you started with FreeCodeCamp, that's a great resource.
To get inspiration for styling try resources like behance.net, dribbble.com, and Pinterest.

I would redo it fully since you have most likely accumulated some new knowledge during those years 😉

• I would put navigation in the same line profile info.
• Add some rounder border to the Search bar.
• Add some colorful patterns for the Github card instead of black.
• Add different background colors for tags.
• Add different colors for links and Read more buttons.
• Reduce the line height for titles.
• Re-design the pagination.
• Make the font color of your name white in the Footer.

Very clean looking.
The content is well-positioned.
Awesome contrast and easy to read.

• Add some animations for load more (Something similar you use on the Contact button)
• Use some bright colors to underline the tags. Current pale yellow does not work on white background.
• Consider hosting the blog content on your own site, to own it fully. That will also enable you to customize the UI you want. Currently, Hashnode design is different than what you use in your site.
• Make sure you use higher quality images (than HackerNews Clone, for example)

The site can't be reached 😒

I liked it, clean and nice animations.
Content loads too slow if I scroll fast.

• Change the color of navigation items to black.
• Position experience items on 2 column layout to fill up space.
• Use all the available horizontal space for positioning the skills items as well.
• Use a black border for your cards to accent them more. The current white one does not work on a grey background.

Profile image fits well and awesome feel of the site.

• Increase the size of the logo, so it's not the same as the navigation items on the right.
• Set purple underline for nav items depending on the scroll position (not just on hover).
• Increase the font size for those letter animations. They are on the landing page for a reason, after all.
• Use rounded borders for all content boxes if you use them on cards.

I like how clean it looks and the use of animations.

• Re-design Join our community section (use all the space, it's too squeezed)
• Decrease the Footer section height and position items horizontally.

It's good enough to start with.

• Add a profile picture or illustration on the top.
• Add some interactivity for cards on hover.
• Increase the font size of the section titles and bold them (currently project tiles are bigger than the section title)

What I liked:

• The site is very quick.
• Clean looking font for the Blog, About, and Project content.
• Minimal feel and very easy for the eyes.
• Code formatting theme goes well with the site color palette.
• Overall the content (right side) looks great.

Some ideas I would consider:

• I would suggest putting the content that's currently in the About section to Home.
• Create a new section Blog (under the Home) and put there everything that is now in Home. And then remove the About section as it is left empty now.
• The landing page should be the introduction. Both points above fix that.
• I would suggest using all the vertical space in the sidebar, that way you could make more margin between items and they would not be so squeezed.
• Change font for navigation, make the nav items bigger, highlight them. Currently, it is hard to notice there is navigation at all.
• Center the social media buttons and put them under copyrights.
• The date and the tags you use under the blog title need re-design. See how it looks without the tag icon. Consider removing it (since you don't use icons anywhere else) to continue the minimalistic approach.
• Consider developing separate navigation for mobile screens, like the hamburger menu in the top left or right, that opens in the whole screen with the nav list.

• Make the hamburger icon plain black.
• Use brighter blue how highlighter text.
• Some image or illustration is missing in the Hero section.
• Reduce the letter spacing of the Hero font.
• Position socials horizontally.
• Change the font of the Footer.
• Center Footer content.
• Add some more contact details.

Great animation across the site.

• Put your image in About me to replace the placeholder.
• Avoid the skills percentages, as you will be asked how did you measure them.
• I would increase the font size for the descriptions, as some of the tiny text is hard to read.

Best of luck with the content creation!

Great white-purple color scheme.
Nice animations on Projects cards.

• I would re-design the logo. Something much easier to read and use SVG for better quality.
• Increase the font size of your name below the image.
• Give a nice top margin for your description about you, so you use vertical space more.
• Make section titles way bigger, they start a new section after all.
• Remove that flipping animation from Skills.
• Add images for your Writings list.
• Create a custom component for Send a message, so it is more intuitive.

Good job on laying out the content. The HTML side is already there. For CSS I would try to do a full re-design, use dribbble.com, behance.net, and Pinterest to inspire you

• It's hard to read, definitely increase the font size for all your content.
• Add proper padding for navigation and archive items, they are too squeezed.
• Move the social media icons under the description of yourself.
• Make all the links, navigation, archive items, and post titles to the shade of blue used in the Choose file button, to give an accent to your site.
• Make sure to list the preview versions of the articles and then open them on click. Once you have more articles, you will end up facing that anyway.
• I don't think that validator checks are necessary on the Footer.

What I liked:

• Easy to navigate.
• Hitchhiker's guide to keeping track of progress is unique.
• URLs with hashes to forward the user to a specific position.
• Particle background to simulate the night sky.

Some ideas I would consider:

• 'Things I'm proud of' image content took me a while to load on the initial load. Once the images are catched everything is smooth.
• In your overall layout of the site, I think the 'Things I'm proud of' items would look better if you would use title, description, and image pattern to display. Currently, it is hard to understand what each project is about without visiting the live link.
• I miss some more interactive stuff, like zooming skill boxes on hover, changing color on navigation items on hover, etc.
• Reduce the height of the header once the user starts scrolling, to increase the reading space and set it back to normal once the user is back to the top.
• Also consider implementing a separate header for the mobile version of the site, to increase the reading space for small screens.
• The way 'Don't take my word for it' currently swaps the recommendations could be improved. I would most likely create a new custom component for it, so the transitions are cleaner.
• Maybe consider implementing the light mode switch for the site.
