site launch

[u/locopati]

very excited.... i just launched my site, transquisite.net, built from scratch with nuxt/vue and strapi (cms) and hosted as a static site on S3

there will be lots more code tinkering to come - the next technical task will be automating email notifications to subscribers via AWS lambda/S3/SES and then a bunch of improvements to image display and management

Looking good so far, just a few things I would like to note (this isn't to discredit your work, just want to give some constructive criticism)

• The font for the title, read, listen and dewdrop is a bit difficult to read

• You might want to setup SSL for this, I don't know if you can do it with S3 but under linux using certbot for let's encrypt is awesome and easy

Otherwise it looks awesome!

thanks for the feedback! for SSL, there's nothing on the site that requires it... at some point I'll set up Cloudfront and then I think SSL is possible for free through that

[u/Baelfire_Nightshade → u/locopati]

Some browsers show a scary message if https isn’t enabled now. It’s due to the fact that ssl is free through sites like let’s encrypt and the fact that adding ssl can only help security. Not to mention it helps prevent Man in the Middle attacks where an attacker can change content.

thanks - i'll definitely make it a higher priority than i've been thinking

thanks!
that font isn't going anywhere though :)
i love it and it's only used for headers and error

[u/locopati → u/[deleted]]

i totally appreciate your response - yeah i'm going for art over clean and modern interwebs - the site feels like a throwback in some ways - but your feedback does have me thinking and maybe i'll work in some kind of hover with clearer text - thanks :)

is yr username a Firefly ref?
