Recently finished updating my portfolio - would love to hear some feedback / feel free to get in touch for a chat :) http://tomyeoman.me

Hi, nullandvoid. I can't comment about the content on your page, but here's a few comments about the UI, which IMHO perturb the experience.

- As you scroll down, and the gradients shift to yellow, white font based text gets difficult to read

- (On Mobile) the black footer, and headers feel uncanny, and take up reading space. Maybe fixing the header to the top of the page is a better option? Since most people don't mind scrolling to the top to find the nav bar. Kudos for using both text and icons there btw. Regarding the footer, the left side (powered by ?) can go to the bottom of the page since it's not particularly relevant. Also consider making the icon clickable to whatever that thing is. The LinkedIn, GitHub and Stack overflow links could be in the contact section, where you've got linkedin anyway. Or maybe fixed at the top, right above projects section.

All of this is just my personal thoughts, feel free to ignore :)

Still just a blog that clearly needs a huge theme update? Heh, but it has collected fragments since January 2004, when I gave up hand coded HTML and doing an rsync on the diary.

I do need to blog more but recently it was mostly about my projects. It is powered by one of them, Zola (https://www.getzola.org/).

I want to write more but not really sure about the topics.

If you're looking for a simple, static page which doesn't require any additional libraries, is lightweight and can be hosted easily on GitHub, I can't recommend Jon Barron's enough.

Source: https://github.com/jonbarron/website

Page: https://jonbarron.info

It's easy to modify to suit your content, as I did.

Also consider getting a .page domain, which I feel is perfect for these purposes.

Long, long ago I was a developer at Microsoft, and at a small startup before that. I've since transitioned into theatre, but I love keeping up with the tech world via Hacker News (which is my way of warning you that my blog is completely non-technical).

I've just started a series about writing fight scenes, from the perspective of a fight choreographer: https://lovebloodrhetoric.com/2019/02/03/writing-the-fight-v....

https://lamasa.de I mainly created it because people kept asking me how I made my DIY smart energy meter, so now I can just redirect them to my website. Have a lot of refining to do on those descriptions though.
