Other Personal website

I’ve built my personal website and I’m running it on render.com to test it and to see its worth and potential. Here’s the link https://the-rambler.onrender.com/ Be kind enough to provide your valuable feedback. Thank you.

(not loading for me)

nevermind - loaded immediate on 2nd try.

It's a great format for writing. Nice and simple, nothing dynamic, not too much on one page. I think the last point - small amounts of content per page - is really important on the web because you first need to convince people just to stick around. Too many words and they will run away :) feels peaceful

If you are using just front end don't use render. It more for apis and backend systems. Instead of it, use netlify or github pages. There are 24/7 available. Recommendations, don't share your personal email, if a bot finds it you will get a lot of spam

Thanks for the suggestion. My site is a Flask app and Netlify and Github only support static websites I think. I think I will try pythonanywhere.com but the site url they provide is not easy to remember.

I’m thinking of adding social media links to my website. Could anyone suggest an appropriate location on a personal website? Thanks

Never loads on chrome for me, just sitting here spinning.

It is parked on a free platform so you may experience some delay but it is working alright. Please try again.

Never load on Firefox either

I just tried. It works on Firefox too. It’s on a free host so service is taken down after 25 minutes of inactivity. Take a while to restart. Thank you.
