I think this site would be perfect if you toned down the existential dreariness and replaced it with small sprinkles of humor, but mix in some more technical stuff (what are your benefits). Being able to endlessly think about life and death isnt a benefit for someone who wants to hire you, and you won't get extra points for being "deep". If that is who you are, you can leave a tiny single sprinkle of it in there some…

The screenshot of the To-Do List is pretty bad

Lol, it works well. What else could they do better?

I couldn't have said it better or nicer. Also the todo list example looks a lot like that, an example that could be simply git cloned. If the web/ CSS stuff is original you have more to show!

Most people have everything else covered, but . . . I'm guessing, but English is probably not your first language. Use something like Grammarly for free (or even Word or Libre for *nix), put all of your text into it and use the suggested grammar edits. The things I noticed were simple like capitalization, no spaces after punctation, some misused words.

I'll add the GitHub links to the respective pages, thanks for bringing attention to that.
