  • It’s pretty interesting but there’s a few things that would make it a lot better:

    • I have absolutely no idea how to upload a PDF. I can only make lorem ipsum ones. It should have a lot more support for dropping files onto the webpage. Maybe even a quick upload box in your sidebar on the homepage.
    • The download button should not open a new tab or change the location or anything. Use the HTML5 ‘download’ attribute instead.
    • Increase (top/bottom) margins between PDF entries, it’s too condensed
    • The progress bar doesn’t automatically update when you close a PDF. When reading a PDF, I scroll to the bottom, click the little X in top right, and have to press F5 before seeing the progress bar update on the page.
    • Make it tell the browser that it’s already a darkmode website (for stuff like DarkReader)

    These are my suggestions. Good luck with your project. It looks pretty nice!











  • Looks pretty decent, some feedback:

    • I tried clicking the “Join the conversation!” box to try and write a comment. Took me way to long to understand I had to click the button.
    • Text editor is fine for me, but the bottom glow (background gradient) in it feels off.

    I like that I can selfhost it. Almost all of these services collect and sell user data (like Disqus) and they are straight up blocked by ad/tracker blockers.



  • Allowing yourself to be wrong. Especially as a male.

    Instead of trying to figure out a way to still kind of be correct, you just objectively reconsider the facts.

    It made me a better adult. I prefixed a lot of my statements with “I think” or “I believe” to emphasis the possibility for me to be wrong. And I’m more inclined to ask questions. (Which sadly gets a lot of people riled up because they have a hard time believing I’m not doing it sarcastically.)
