Justified text is hard to read on mobile. One line has a word gap that's a third of the page width. Monospace is harder to read, and so are slim fonts. The contact section would work better as a list.

Also, I see you run "all about berlin". I love berlin! I was there last summer, great city! Used your website a lot :)

Thanks for checking it on mobile. Will look into that. I was quite obsessed with making it a light/minimalist as possible, so I used default fonts. But perhaps Courier New should be updated.

Courier New is pretty dated, you could consider using the Monospace Code stack from https://modernfontstacks.com to take advantage of newer system fonts. Your current font stack is actually broken as well, generic families like monospace shouldn't be quoted. Quoting it makes the browser look for a font literally called "monospace" instead of using its default monospace font.

Oh wow good catch. Will fix that

Your page loads in under 0.2 seconds with perfect Lighthouse scores - that's the true essence of minimalism that many overdesigned portfolios miss.

Hi all. I recently updated my personal webpage. I'm genuinely curious how the page is perceived by others. Especially since I don't have a background in webdesign. Thanks in advance!
