Looks cool. But on mobile.... It really fails in looks, it seems not to adapt to screen or orientation. Try something like 'browserstack' to test your website on several views,devicrs and or browsers
Used firefox on my fairphone 2
Fairphone.com -
@NeatNerdPrime Yes I know :( It's not quite ready for mobile yet. I am currently working on it though so thank you for the advice :)
-
The background looks really cool, but.. and this is a big BUT.. it's only cool for a website I'd watch for 10 seconds and never come back again.
-
@Ioan93Andrei it depends what you want with the website. If you want to make an artsy demo and/or show what you technically can do, it's fine. Demos don't have to be useful, just cool, which the site clearly is.
If, however, you intend to populate the website with actual content that you want people to read, then the moving background should be gone because it would distract from the content. -
@Fast-Nop I think I'm going to keep the background for now. I want to add a portofolio page once I get a few projects that I can show of and I'm also working on making it responsive and good looking on different devices.

Hopstar726y@NeatNerdPrime that looks pretty cool (Browserstack) but its a monthly cost. Does anyone know cheaper alternatives?
Also looks really good for the first version. Good luck -
@Hopstar I found this little website that seems to be free. Maybe it helps :)

Go the Screenfly -
@Hopstar if you really want the poor-man's solution, you can get the webdrivers for every browser and also emulators for (mobile) devices. But do be warned! Walking this path is asking for long sleepless social-lifeless weekends to set up your CI pipeline, and you will have to write your own unit/integration/e2e test.
-
Hopstar726y@NeatNerdPrime hmm maybe I'll still give it a try then. It's just 30 dollars a month is a lot for a student
-
@Hopstar honestly it might be serious overkill to a small website like a presentation and portfolio site.
Btowserstack pays off when you have a huge web application and you want everything to look just right on every device and browser
Perhaps focus on the browsers you want to support, like firefox or chrome. Both have freely available 'webdrivers' (basically a huge library where all/most of the browser backend is built in and you use api calls, wrapped into something useful) which you can then create a script where tou test expected behaviour. This really becomes useful when you set up your own pipeline. -
Hopstar726y@NeatNerdPrime in already running a ci and cd. The project I'm working on is alittle bigger then a portfolio so I'll check it out. Maybe they have a discount for students

ChuckNorris27Say hello to the beast my friends: i7-8750H GTX 1060(6 GB) 16 GB RAM(2666 Mhz) 😎😎✌🏼
Finally managed to get my website up and running after a week of going back and forth with Hostgator. I'm really excited about it even though I know it's not quite ready and needs more work.
Even so, please have a look and tell me what you think :)
