30 sats \ 5 replies \ @ek 5 Aug \ on: What creative ideas have you been rambling on? Design

I want to improve my website. Maybe I should add images to the post index.

Was looking at images from unsplash but I don’t want the images to look too generic.

I like the minimalistic style, it keep it simple and force the visitor to focus on the contents. Images may be distractive, especially if you don't find one that reflect the essence of the discussed topic.

Unsplash is a good resource, nonetheless, don't feel forced to use images. In text heavy sites, it is good practice to have a thinner column and bigger font-sizes, maybe something you could play with.

yeah I had thinner columns before but felt like I wasted too much space on desktop

but maybe it's too big now

will try to have a good width so paragraphs look more like blocks instead of just a few long lines

thanks for the feedback!

play with the two variables, column width and font-size, if you stick to the golden ratio you'll be fine

On mobile, some spacing feels off—either too tight or too loose—and fonts/buttons could scale better.

Suggestion:
Refine padding, font sizes, and layout balance to feel more polished on small screens.

Did it used to look fairly different? I think the last time I visited your site was around the time you posted this.

I like how it is now. If it was the same then, perhaps it's my sensibilities that changed. But I like it a lot now.
