Singapore actively dealing with ongoing cyberattack on critical infrastructure (channelnewsasia.com)

I built this site for those software projects you have been working on and want the world to see. It’s also geared towards finding collaborators in an early stage. It is catered towards open sourced projects (in line with finding collaborators).

I had a lot of fun building it, and would love to see what the community thinking of it. I put a heavy emphasis on making the UI beautiful on both mobile and desktop.

Any feedback? Areas in which the site can improve? I’d love to hear it!

Would love to see if any devs want to assist in its further development as well.

you need a designer bud.

Haha yes, my skill set is geared towards full stack engineering.

Had a lot of fun developing this when I had some free time though, thought I’d share it to the world.

cranberryturkey · 3h ago

that's all good but it looks like shit -- no offense.

ReddBird · 3h ago

How can I improve it? What areas should I focus on? (Ex; front page, specific posts, etc)

ReddBird · 3h ago

Thanks for the feedback @cranberry turkey !

It sounds cool, I'd even say more. I once wanted to make a site like this myself, but there's one problem: I can't access your site, even when I connected a VPN, nothing changed.

ReddBird · 3h ago

Strange… probably something to do with the network configuration. I’m routing local traffic in a container through a cloudflare tunnel, it probably is not available in your zone.

FerkiHN · 3h ago

Oh it works! Finally I can appreciate, yes your design is amazing, look I offered you two types of design type or you can make it as in HN(Old is funny), or modern. Because you have something in between now and it doesn't look very good.

ReddBird · 3h ago

How should I go about improving the design? Any areas I should focus on? What would work well?

I have time to develop tomorrow and I want to make it effective.

I am new to creating design.

ReddBird · 2h ago

Wow, thank you for all that. I will do that tomorrow, and I will check in with you after making changes.

I plan on adding more features tomorrow, and I will use padding for them. I am adding a like feature, and a comments feature. Not sure which one to do first, but they will be there.. thanks so much for your response, that really means a lot to me

I hope this report helps you, I really like your website, I hope someday it will become popular, for advertising projects.

I more details analysis at your website and immediately spotted a few things that I think could really elevate its look and make it much more pleasant to use. Right now, it's a bit "shouting" with those bright colors, the text sometimes gets lost, and some elements feel like they're crowding each other. But honestly, all of this is super fixable, and your site has a lot of potential! Here are some specific tips that should help make your website feel much more professional: First off, let's swap out those blaring blue shades for something calmer, something that won't strain the eyes as much. Think about muted blue tones, a light background, and dark text. That alone will instantly make the site feel more substantial. It's also really important that the text is easy to read, so it's worth checking the contrast – dark text on a light background always looks best. And don't forget about spacing! It's like breathing room – give your elements a bit of space so they don't blend together. This will make your site's structure much cleaner and easier to grasp. By the way, using a consistent font style, like Open Sans, and clear hierarchy for your headings (larger for H1, smaller for H2, etc.) will also significantly improve the visual appeal. Here's how that might look in your code – these are just examples, feel free to pick your own specific values:

:root {

  --primary: #4a7b9d; /\* Muted blue */

  --secondary: #e3f2fd; /* Light background */

  --accent: #1565c0; /* Accent color for buttons, for instance */

  --text: #333333; /* Main text */

}

body {

  font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; /* Consistent font */

  font-size: 1rem;

  line-height: 1.6; /* Comfortable line spacing */

  color: var(--text);

  background-color: #f8f9fa; /* Light background */

}

h1 { font-size: 2.2rem; }

h2 { font-size: 1.8rem; }

h3 { font-size: 1.4rem; }

.container {

  padding: 2rem; /* Generous padding for main blocks */

  max-width: 1200px;

  margin: 0 auto;

}

.card {

  background: white;

  border-radius: 8px;

  box-shadow: 0 4px 12px

rgba(0,0,0,0.08); /* Subtle shadow for "cards" /
transition: transform 0.3s ease; /* Smooth hover effect */ padding: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;
}
.card:hover {
transform: translateY(-5px); /* Card subtly lifts on hover \*/ box-shadow: 0 6px 16px rgba(0,0,0,0.12);
}

Don't forget about responsiveness – so many people browse on their phones these days, so make sure your site looks great on any device. You could simplify the menu and perhaps make the header a bit smaller, maybe even add a logo instead of just text. Overall, these changes shouldn't take too long. Swapping out colors and adding padding is probably just 1-2 hours. Improving the cards and optimizing tags – another 2-3 hours. Navigation and responsiveness are a bit more complex, maybe 3-4 hours. And then you can add the fine details, like animations, which might take 4+ hours. The main thing to remember is: "less is more." Even small tweaks can make a huge difference!
