 Let's try something: #RoastMySite! I want to hear your honest feedback, (not so) constructive criticism, funny bug reports and savage burns. 🔥 Got your own site? I'll roast it! https://garrit.xyz/posts/2023-12-12-roast-my-site This is post 093 of #100DaysToOffload. 9 comments
@shellsharks wow, that's detailed! Thanks for all your amazing feedback! I'll leave a roast in your original post. Seems like you already had the same idea! ;) @pawelgrzybek oh wow, I never thought about the web share API! What do you mean by "Skip link"? Regarding your site: the redundant whitespace in "... Netlify ." is about the only flaw I can find. Your site is perfect!!  @garritfra I think Web Share API is so great! A single button to rule them all :) Speaking of skip links, look at this: https://webaim.org/techniques/skipnav/ Good spot with extra space on my website! Thanks a ton! @garritfra Imagine bothering to post to your own website 93 times 🔥🔥🔥 /s Congrats: 93 is 93 more than I have done! I really should bother myself.... 😅 @garritfra Your site is pretty good, but … - you should underline your links! https://thoughts.jatan.space/p/colored-vs-underlined-links Would also appreciate a roast of my site 😄 @konstantin thanks for the feedback! I really should start underlining my links... Regarding your site: * Looks very consistent. Nice work! @garritfra Thank you, but I have a dark theme with a `@media` query (https://konstantintutsch.com/assets/css/style.css). I'll look into why it isn't working anymore 🤔 |

@garritfra Not sure if this is an appropriate roast format but here’s some thoughts after perusing your site…
—“Roasts”—
- You don’t need “(ActivityPub)” next to Mastodon, it kinda goes without saying =).
- Your footer is aggressive - “Links of Interest” and “Elsewhere” could either be condensed or have their own dedicated page.
- Remove Twitter from your social icons, it’s dead.
- Your digital /resume is… hard to parse. Also, just call it a “resume” - not a “CV” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curriculum_vitae)
—Likes—
- I like the /todo page with aspirational projects (bonus points for having a “roadmap” list)
- Dark theme is nice
- Haven’t done the flag hunt yet but I love that idea. Have been considering it for a while myself. I have a “CTF” of sorts built into my site main logo.
- +10 for having an RSS feed
- I too want to build a Blogroll. Nice!
- Random post feature is fun
- Snow on the home page is whimsical. I like whimsy.
—Needs—
A list of things I think you could add to your site to level up…
- Dedicated /about page
- Humans.txt page (https://humanstxt.org)
- Search functionality
- /uses page (example: https://shellsharks.com/uses)
- Webfinger config (if you haven’t already done this - https://blog.netnerds.net/2022/11/alias-mastodon-github-pages/)
Roast mine if you want too! https://infosec.exchange/@shellsharks/110810798642328950
