I'm always looking for personal sites that are still out there. I love some of the ones she listed. Here are some random ones I found yesterday. http://merkoba.com/ http://angusnicneven.com/ http://danieltemkin.com/ http://joelcalifa.com/ https://jacky.wtf/ https://www.jacobyyoung.com/about http://nik.works/ http://web.archive.org/web/20180501202224/https://shiba.comp...

Professional: https://me.jrl.ninja/ Personal: https://jrl.ninja/

Both are ~1 KiB handcrafted html + css, excluding the web font. I like minimalism. Hope you like it too!

This guy from Japan still has my favorite portfolio so far: https://magical-girl.site/ I shared it a while ago here, but it didn't get much traction.

That's awesome.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Great stuff. How did you find those? My favourites: http://alexandrerochet.com http://timroussilhe.com Those are experiences. I'll update my website to be so awesome when I get some time for it (bit difficult while managing a team). My own site, wanted to update it ever since. Not really an eye-catcher, I know. It uses Grav CMS, it's a great CMS (and file-based). https://samuelantonioli.de And the website of my agenc…

I find links by clicking on different Twitter users' links or clicking around on "indieweb" blogs. But today has been amazing - having a chance to look at a variety of designs and blogs shared by their creators. These designs you linked are more modern than the others that I've seen. It made me realize that there is a lot of nostaglia - either utter minimalism or vaporwave - floating around in personal pages right no…

Never knew that so many developers go to such extremes w.r.t minimalism.

The site you've linked has great videos in the background and I like the animated logo, that really helps in making it interesting.

Personally, I still prefer those sites I've linked, because I know that they are harder to make than those minimalistic/no-css sites. I think it depends if it's a backend dev or a full stack web dev with a focus on UI/UX. In the latter case, it's a good way to show off what you're capable of. With those minimalistic designs (some of them also have bad UX) I don't really know if they're able to create modern, responsive and more complex websites.

Check me out: https://castrio.me/ I'm most proud of the hover outlines, which I spent way too long making. They're on npm as a React component if anyone else finds them cool: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dynamic-outlines

These hover outlines look awesome! Definitely a fun little personal detail.

Here is mine - https://krtkush.com

It's a modified jekyll theme so the design is not originally mine.
