• 2em base font size is waaaaaay too large. I zoomed out to 50% and breathed a sigh of relief (and later dialed it back up to 67% which was tolerable too and probably more where it should be for such a thing). • radio/checkbox need to be more distinct. I recommend a cross in the checkbox. • Focus styles: you’ve killed the outlines on radio/checkbox and not replaced them with anything better, which is doubleplusungood…

Seconding, check the focus-visible especially on the textarea/selects.

Very cool! I just designed my new portfolio website with a hand drawn “sketch book” style. https://www.jdegrootlutzner.com/?utm_campaign=show&utm_sourc... And this style could be great for Ben Stoke’s paper website project.

Pretty cool, just wanted to point out the pencil cursor doesn't really map to the cursor location properly in Safari (confirmed this works properly in Chrome). The pencil appears down and to the right of the cursor, so you end up drawing up and to the left of the pencil, and it also makes it hard to click HTML elements like the checkboxes in the projects section.

?utm_campaign=show&utm_source=hn&utm_medium=comment why do people do this to their own personal blog?

I added UTM parameters so I can see how people interact with my content. I also did it as way to learn how to use Plausible and analytics for future projects.

Isn’t HTTP_REFERER not enough to pinpoint the traffic that came from HN?

About 1/4 of the traffic that used the link above did not have HTTP_REFERER set. This portion of the traffic would show up as "Direct / None" on Plausible

Thank you for your feedback. Just fixed it

Do you know why that is? Private mode or something similar?
