Let's try something: #RoastMySite!
I want to hear your honest feedback, (not so) constructive criticism, funny bug reports and savage burns. 🔥
Got your own site? I'll roast it!

@garritfra Not sure if this is an appropriate roast format but here’s some thoughts after perusing your site…
—“Roasts”—
- You don’t need “(ActivityPub)” next to Mastodon, it kinda goes without saying =).
- Your footer is aggressive - “Links of Interest” and “Elsewhere” could either be condensed or have their own dedicated page.
- Remove Twitter from your social icons, it’s dead.
- Your digital /resume is… hard to parse. Also, just call it a “resume” - not a “CV” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curriculum_vitae)
—Likes—
- I like the /todo page with aspirational projects (bonus points for having a “roadmap” list)
- Dark theme is nice
- Haven’t done the flag hunt yet but I love that idea. Have been considering it for a while myself. I have a “CTF” of sorts built into my site main logo.
- +10 for having an RSS feed
- I too want to build a Blogroll. Nice!
- Random post feature is fun
- Snow on the home page is whimsical. I like whimsy.
—Needs—
A list of things I think you could add to your site to level up…
- Dedicated /about page
- Humans.txt page (https://humanstxt.org)
- Search functionality
- /uses page (example: https://shellsharks.com/uses)
- Webfinger config (if you haven’t already done this - https://blog.netnerds.net/2022/11/alias-mastodon-github-pages/)
Roast mine if you want too! https://infosec.exchange/@shellsharks/110810798642328950

@shellsharks wow, that's detailed! Thanks for all your amazing feedback! I'll leave a roast in your original post. Seems like you already had the same idea! ;)

pawelgrzybek@mastodon.social1. A skip link would be a nice addition and a massive improvement for accessibility.
2. I'm not sure if I like the "✨ Random Post ✨" title of a blog page—it may imply that the posts below are randomized, but they are not.
3. I'm not a big fan of these social icons under every article. I am a big fan of the Web Share API for things like this.
Other than that, I can find millions of things I love about your website!
Your round!

@garritfra I feel like your site from the "Recent posts" section and below its too much to the left, either make longer titles (jk) or turn the "links of interest" and "elsewhere" into a 2 column's grid. or make them nav bars.
The unordered list in the links page also looks really bad with that footer 
Whats the meaning of your favicon? its kinda random maybe idk

Made this for a course assignment, it did have a lot more personal information on it as it was intended for use as a portfolio, though it has since been scrubbed. It's more of a template for use in other projects at this point, so keep that in mind when critiquing/roasting it. :^)
