https://elie.net mostly about the research we do at Google. Generated statically and hosted on firebase. The design was custom made for it.

Wow, your circular navigation with the jumbled letters is very cool! It's a little picky about where you have to click (directly on the rune, apparently, even if it highlights when you're lose), but I enjoyed navigating around with it.

Here's mine: bcmullins.github.io I mostly write about research and reading. Here are some recent posts: Interesting books from 2022: https://bcmullins.github.io/interesting-books-2022/ Interesting articles from 2022: https://bcmullins.github.io/interesting-articles-2022/ Foreign Affairs at 100: https://bcmullins.github.io/foreign-affairs-100/

My only suggestion for your site is that your homepage has a lot of different fonts at once. One for the header/nav, one for the main body/CTA, another for the podcast column headers and a serif font for the podcasts themselves. It may be worth condensing those and differentiating with size/color/weight instead of font face.

My personal blog is: https://www.ivanmontilla.com I advertised it originally as a financial technology blog, ended up mostly a career advice blog for navigating toxic environments and some hard truths. EDIT: Typo.

Hey Ivan! I like your site. I might swap the homepage picture out for one that's a little less... aggressive though? That picture is pretty stern and it's on every page/post.
