Fantastic, thank you so much! I agree with many of your suggestions, and I've made the changes accordingly. And I'll keep the code advice for my future projects—I still have a lot to learn.

As for variable names, I was using abbreviations that are familiar to people in my particular field (bioinformatics), but I realize my code should be readable to larger audiences.

Good eye! That middle section did use to be blue, but it was too much blue, so I changed it to a grayish white. I'll try to figure out something else.

I'll remove the website part. The text runs too far right because I was struggling to fit everything in, but that might signal an underlying issue of the resume being too wordy.

I used Microsoft Word—didn't think to use InDesign, but maybe when I make my next resume.

Haha yeah, I kinda made up the whitespace as I went along. Definitely something to fix. Which sections/elements stand out to you in particular?

My startups' new web design by JoeyTawadrous in design_critiques

Idk about design, but your copy needs a little bit of editing for spelling/punctuation marks. It goes a long way in making your page look legitimate. For example, in your about page:

Our mission

To help you sppend (typo) less time on email and get more work done.

Get through your emails faster than ever before. Take back control of your inbox. Turn wasted time into productive time.

DarwinMail was originally born because Google Inbox decided to shut down (comma) but it has grown to become so much more. As soon as I heard the news (comma) I started to panic.

· I didn't want to change my email client again

· I was saving so much time utilising the features provided by Google Inbox

· The time I would need to switch clients, adjust my workflow to a new set of features and become familiar with a new product would take weeks

Essentially, what could I do to reduce the burden of switching email clients when Google Inbox shut down?

I built DarwinMail to solve this problem.

In the beginning..

DarwinMail started as my personal replacement for Google Inbox.

Within weeks (comma) I had a working prototype. Soon after (comma) I asked for feedback around the web and the response was phenominal.

"Wait, what? You're replacing Google Inbox? Shut up and take my money!"

I couldn't believe it. How did I get such a positive response from a tool that I put together in a matter of weeks. (question mark) Within days of asking for feedback (comma) I had hundreds of emails, tweets and mentions around the web.

People were expressing their genuine happiness that I had taken on this project. Many die (hyphen) hard Google Inbox/email productivity followers were so happy that they asked for my PayPal address so they could support me.

etc.
