yesterday i made another round of small changes on the design, tweaking the typography and spacing a bit!

i realised i was spending more time designing my portfolio than actually making stuff to put into it, so i decided to make the content first, and build the design around it.

by using next.js, i reduced the carbon emissions from 0,87 gram to 0,12 gram for each site load, which was pretty great.

then i made a dark version and removed all my projects for some reason. the website stayed dead for quite a while.

then i started studying design and suddenly had many more projects to show.

this was my website in 2022:

#designsky #buildinpublic #web #ux

i've had a personal website for eight years now, the base structure was designed in 2019, but i have done many iterations on the design and content since then

this is how it looked like in 2020:

the best thing about having a personal website is that you can spend hours just tweaking the spacing

light mode vs. dark mode on websites:

which would you prefer to have by default?

#web #designsky

i wish sharpie made refills for these:

i find this oddly satisfying

#designsky #buildinpublic

current status of my small side project, a website where i'm posting my everyday observations and my thoughts about them

#designsky #buildinpublic #web

i notice things i did not see before. like birds circling above the nearly-blossoming trees, the sun casting light and shadows in a room, a building from the angle of the front camera, which I accidentally opened while walking home.
