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...

I would appreciate any feedback: https://www.echevarria.io/ . It's just basic HTML, CSS, and I think three small scripts for the whole thing.

I have bookmarked the pastels blog entry to revisit - I think this is a fun post. Your blue puts you with the other link here https://moeamaya.com/ which is good company.

One question: is there a reason you chose to go with left-right arrows on the photo page and scrolling on the code page?

You are doing good work. Continue.

Funny-- her site is very much not the same as mine, but there are several parts that certainly rhyme (shapes on the homepage, projects displayed in colorful wells, etc). Any feedback is appreciated! https://matthewhoelter.com

I was just talking to a friend yesterday about the mouse trail. This is a good innovation you have done. All of your projects look tight.

I actually finished mine the other day: https://sterlingdemille.com

Boy, making a portfolio is excruciating. All these links make it look so easy, but when I started it was like pulling teeth. If anyone has feedback (harsh even), I'd love to hear it!

Aye. Thanks for linking me. Was wondering why I had a spike in traffic.

Hey! Yes - well I found your blog to be gorgeous and I think it sets a standard for the Indieweb (which is generally very practical.) Which - I like that you don't sacrifice practicality for appearance. The layout of the metadata on your posts is sterling.

Anyone else find it depressing looking at all these awesome portfolio sites? I’m a halfway-competent frontend developer who can build most things when I’m given a design, but I can’t imagine ever coming up with a cool quirky idea like this by myself. Where do you even begin?

Everyone cribs from each other. :D

Really - find what elements attract you and reshape them. I think the more pages you look at, the more your brain will get stirred up about it.

Here's my personal website: https://matall.in I'm a fan of personal sites, too. Some of the ones that I like most, in no particular order: https://macwright.org https://zachholman.com https://warpspire.com https://paulstamatiou.com http://francisco.dance https://craigmod.com

I like your site, think I'll steal the Changelog idea.
