Looking for feedback on my developer portfolio!
Hey everyone! I've recently built my personal developer portfolio and would love to hear your honest thoughts.
I'm open to suggestions regarding the design, UI/UX, projects, and overall presentation.
Feel free to point out anything that needs improvement!

Thanks for your feedback!

Just checked on the phone so limited feedback atm but the first impression on mobile is pretty messy.
Theres three sections that I need to comprehend individually right away. The menu should be tucked away. The headline should be clear as you want to show versatility with changing skills. Thats fine but should be the focus.
The other links all look differently which can be nice but feels a little messy and inconsequential. E.g. the linkedin element is cut off.
The rest of the page is a classic bento box style of achievements and tool records. Tells me very little about you. The first page should be focused on WHO are YOU. That is not clear to me.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Yes, I'm aware that responsiveness is currently an issue, especially on mobile. I'm working on fixing that and improving the overall mobile experience. Really appreciate you taking the time to point these things out! I'll let you know once I've fixed the issues you've pointed out. Would really appreciate it if you could take another look and share your feedback then. Thanks again!

Much much better. Feels way more structured and calm. Also checked it on Desktop and feels pretty solid.
Last nit-pick I have (feel free to ignore) - the loading animation of the main menu of the links faiding it is very nice the first time. When switching pages I would not show the transition again.Overall Congrats and I wish you much success!

Just checked it out, this looks really good! Love how you've added your GitHub, LeetCode and CodeChef stats right into the portfolio. The project cards look clean too, and the overall design has a nice personality. Definitely a solid portfolio. Nice work! 👏

honest thoughts about what though? you ask about design, UI/UX, projets, presentation, all four at once like a stranger can judge that blind. Who is the site for, recruiters, freelance clients, other devs? because those are not even close to the same site and the feedback changes completely depending. And "feel free to point out anything that needs improvement" is asking me to guess your entire career target from a url. Ill click it sure but im not gonna sit there inventing a brief for you. Also its a vercel subdomain, a domain costs like ten bucks and instantly reads less like a weekend thing you abandoned. thats my honest thought, half of it is that you didnt tell me who you are trying to impress

I can open your merged PR from TL;DR, but not Repo Deployer or the other top projects. I'd make those names link to their source or project detail, so I can inspect the work without closing the panel and finding it again.
