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!

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. :^)
