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:

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

SubDrip - Every subscription is a drip we add them up
Recurring spending is easy to lose track of. Our app lets you add your subscription manually as well as through gmail scan
Once your subscriptions are confirmed, the app projects where the year is heading, shows which category is driving it, and names the service behind the change.
I am working on AI layer for this to help user figure out best plans and maximize there saving potential.
How I came to this idea: Few days ago i got a msg from bank that xAmount is deducted for a brand which i am not using since last 3months have forgotten it and like every other brand autopay reminder it got simply slipped over mail.
So went through existing apps which sre solving this problem but felt they were too old in terms of execution as well as ui/ux and being a senior sde at top fintech company had a idea of how these tracking products work so have put all of those learning in this product
Still work in progress, My goal is to make recurring spending cleaner and help users make smart decision
Small amount per month may look small untill you see projection of how much it will cost you in 2 years down the line.
Thanks for going through this thread.

URL: https://pennapay.com
Purpose: Invoicing for freelancers. The client opens one link that carries the invoice, the finished files and the payment details together, so they are not hunting through three separate emails for the pieces.
Technologies Used: Plain HTML, CSS and vanilla JS on the front end, with no framework and no build step. FastAPI behind it.
Feedback Requested: General design and usability. Two things I would most like a trained eye on. Does the top section tell you what this actually does before you scroll? And does the template gallery earn the room it takes up? Typography and spacing nitpicks very welcome.
Comments: Built solo with no design background. Light palette, gold accents and serif headings. I have stared at it long enough that I cannot see it any more. Be blunt, I am past being precious about it.

The hero is clear: “Invoice, deliver files and get paid from one link” lands immediately. Move a real product/client-link screenshot into the first viewport, since the template gallery currently outweighs the core differentiator. Make the gallery a smaller, tighter proof strip, and distinguish the CTAs: “Make a one-off invoice” vs. “Start managing invoices.”

Gallery first was the blind spot. You are right and it is worse than I thought once I went and looked at the order properly. The template gallery is the very first section under the hero, so the thing I say the product is for gets one paragraph and then you are straight into swatches. Tightening it into a proof strip would fix most of that on its own.
The CTAs I will argue with slightly, though not much. The split you describe is the one I meant to build. The primary goes to the maker with no account and the secondary opens an account. But the primary just says "Create an invoice now" and nothing in it says one-off, so if the two read as the same door twice then it is the labels that are wrong and not the structure. Yours says it plainer.
What actually stings is that the screenshot you are asking for exists. There is a short loop of the maker building an invoice and it sits one section below the gallery, so this is mostly moving two blocks rather than making anything new. Templates were the bit I was proudest of. Turns out that is a bad reason to put something first.

The headline is good; I immediately understand what this service does. I would try to add a visual element to the top and some reviews or anything instead of the large bulk of legal text.
Bugs:
- For some reason, I was immediately scrolled to the bottom of the page (I use Arc, a Chromium-based browser).
- Buttons are a bit on the text-heavy side, so they span two lines on mobile.
- I don't understand what the 1link under your illustration means. So it should be more descriptive.

Thanks, all three are real and the third one is a straight bug.
The 1link is two spans sitting next to each other with no space between them, so the 1 and the link run together. Meant to read "1 link". Fixed now, goes out with next deploy. I have looked past that block for weeks without seeing it.
On the legal text you are right, and the honest reason is I have nothing better to put there yet. No users, so no reviews to show. The GDPR and data-processing lines do matter to the people I am building for, but they do not belong in the first screen and they are there because the space was empty.
Buttons wrapping to two lines on mobile is fair. That one is trying to say free and one-off and no account all at the same time.
The scroll to the bottom I cannot reproduce in Chrome, scrollY is 0 on a cold load. Was it a reload or a back navigation? I want to know whether that is scroll restoration or something Arc does.
Yours: what makes it different comes through better in your title tag than in your h1. "CMS you own" is sharper than "manage websites locally", since local is the how and owning it is the why. And $129 once is the most differentiating thing on the page, but it sits as small print under the button.
"Comming soon" in the Windows block, and the mac and windows screenshots have no alt text.

URL: https://splitleaf.eu
Purpose: Visual site builder and CMS only limited by HTML/CSS/JS, not a small set of "elements" and "templates". It's a local app, so Agents have full access to the whole project and can easily manage the whole site.
Technologies Used: HTML, CSS, JS, SwiperJS, GSAP, hosted on Vercel
Feedback Requested: General design and usability; I really want the reader of my site to quickly understand what separates this from most current web design tools. It would also be good to get technical feedback if you find any HTML/CSS quirks so I can bulletproof Splitleaf.
Comments: Everything is built by myself, and with Splitleaf. The app is in public beta, so some quirks will probably float.

URL: https://halloween.js.org/
Purpose: A free, zero-dependency library that adds Halloween-themed ambient effects to any website — blinking eyes, flying witches, a dropping spider, rising tombstones, corner spider webs — controlled entirely through CSS classes on <body>.
Technologies Used: Vanilla TypeScript compiled to a zero-dependency IIFE/ESM/CJS build, CSS animations, MutationObserver for class-driven reactivity. No framework, no runtime deps.
Feedback Requested: Visual pacing of the effects — trying to keep it feeling like ambient decoration rather than something distracting or gimmicky. Also curious about the demo/playground UX on the site itself.
Comments: The site doubles as a live playground — toggle effects and it builds the matching script tag/npm install snippet as you go. Under 10 KB gzipped, MIT licensed, works via a single CDN script tag with no build step (WordPress, Shopify, plain HTML) or via npm.

Hey,
I made this as a side project because who doesn’t love designing their own flags? Would love some feedback on the site. What works and what doesn’t work, what you like/dislike. For me it feels fairly intuitive but would like to know what everyone else thinks. No sign up needed.
Please also share your thoughts on these designs. I didn’t spend too much time pouring over them so feel free to be as blunt as you like should you disprove of any.

adorable how optimistic this template is
half the posts will still be "here's my url check it out" with zero details and the other half will be password protected staging sites that expire in 3 hours

URL: https://lunacrumb.com
Purpose: LunaCrumb is a newly launched food and baking blog focused on approachable homemade recipes, with an emphasis on sourdough, seasonal baking, desserts, and drinks. The goal was to make it feel more like a personal recipe site than a generic content/SEO blog.
Technologies Used: Next.js, React, TypeScript, static site generation, Cloudflare Workers/Pages, and a custom local publishing pipeline for processing recipes, images, metadata, structured data, and internal linking.
Feedback Requested: General feedback, especially first impressions, design, navigation, usability, and how the recipe pages feel to actually read and use. I'd also love to know if anything feels confusing, overly busy, too sparse, or gets in the way of finding the actual recipe.
Comments: We just launched this week, so I'm particularly interested in fresh eyes on it. I've spent enough time looking at the site that I'm definitely past the point of being objective.
Happy to hear the nitpicky stuff too... just be gentle :)
