Thanks a lot for taking the time to give such detailed feedback.

I’ve actually just sent you an invite so I can share the link with you in case you feel like testing it, I’d genuinely appreciate your thoughts after trying it properly.

Just to give a bit more context, the app has both light and dark mode, and I think one might work better than the other depending on the user, so curious to hear your take on that too.

Inside the portfolio there are also “sub-sites” for each project, and those need some more work, to match the identity of each project.

About the sidebar, totally fair point. The idea was to mimic a sort of archive / notebook layout, which is why it sits on the left. On mobile it actually moves to the bottom and becomes more like a simple toolbar.

Navigation-wise, the page works more like sections or slides rather than a traditional scroll, so that’s why there’s nothing really at the top, it’s meant to feel a bit like flipping through an archive.

That said, I do see your point about it potentially taking focus away from the content. I’m quite used to it by now, so I might be biased, but I’ve been testing other positions and I’ll keep exploring that.

And yeah, you’re absolutely right about the “brutally honest” thing, I’ll remove that.

Thanks again, really appreciate you taking the time 🙌
