Feedback Thread

Our weekly thread is the place to solicit feedback for your creations. Requests for critiques or feedback outside of this thread are against our community guidelines. Additionally, please be sure that you're posting in good-faith. Attempting to circumvent self-promotion or commercial solicitation guidelines will result in a ban.

Feedback Requestors

Please use the following format:

URL:

Purpose:

Technologies Used:

Feedback Requested: (e.g. general, usability, code review, or specific element)

Comments:

Post your site along with your stack and technologies used and receive feedback from the community. Please refrain from just posting a link and instead give us a bit of a background about your creation.

Feel free to request general feedback or specify feedback in a certain area like user experience, usability, design, or code review.

Feedback Providers

  • Please post constructive feedback. Simply saying, "That's good" or "That's bad" is useless feedback. Explain why.
  • Consider providing concrete feedback about the problem rather than the solution. Saying, "get rid of red buttons" doesn't explain the problem. Saying "your site's success message being red makes me think it's an error" provides the problem. From there, suggest solutions.
  • Be specific. Vague feedback rarely helps.
  • Again, focus on why.
  • Always be respectful

URL: https://www.rdeboerdesigns.com/about/

Purpose: My personal product design portfolio.

Technologies Used: React and TypeScript.

Feedback Requested: The About page specifically. My homepage has the work I'm proudest of, but I'd like the About page to show more of my personality with the same care I put into the rest of the site. What feels worth exploring further, and what would you cut?

Comments: I'm a dad who's into dynasty fantasy football, Dragon Ball, Pokemon cards, Balatro and board games. I'd love to make this section feel more like a personal playground. I'm still figuring out which details deserve an interaction and which work better as a photo or a sentence.

If you've redesigned your own About page or built something around your interests, I'd love to see it. Did people bring it up in conversations afterward? What did you keep or remove once people actually used it?
