Mechanical engineer who dabbles with Vanilla Javscript and web development as a hobbby. I don't use any libraries or frameworks as they take the fun out creating your own solutions.
Almost everyone is telling you how nice it is without giving you any constructive criticism. First off I love the concept. Not too bad a design for a developer but it does have a few issues.
The UI needs work. It took me a few back and forths to realize it's a SPA. Part of the reason is that clicking on the Blog loses the navigation. It should remain fixed to the top right where it is with the other nav items. There are other issues like too small a font for all the white space. And the elements like fonts and other html look rather cheap to me like you didn't bother too much in the presentation (CSS).
You really should have a look at Lea Verou's outline for a course she is teaching at MIT in UI design. There is so much helpful information on there. It's organized so you can take a few hours or a few weeks to pick up some great tips and advice. It is up to you. Here is the link to view the course notes which are accessible to the public 6.813/6.831: User Interface Design & Implementation and another to Lea Verou's Homepage where she shares some outstanding front end tools she developed and videos of her talks and related articles.
In closing I would trust you to code my server and even the MVC frontend but would have reservations with you designing the view.
Hi Jules,
I really appreciate your remarks. That's true, i did not focus too much on the CSS due the fact that I continuously make changes and push them. Currently, I'm working on the navbar and the sizes issue. The problem was, i prototyped the design on Adobe XD, where it looked okay and sharp, and after I coded it; I deployed it immediately. I needed it to be live ASAP. I prioritized fixing the grammar and unatural expressions as it's more penalizing from non tech people and i got more feedbacks regarding that issue from native speakers so I proceeded fixing them rather than fixing the UI. Thanks again for sharing these links and I'll consider watching them, peace.

You're welcome. I am glad it helped. Just one more thing. From your profile page on here I noticed that you have a Media Engineering Master's degree. That is quite impressive considering that most developers have at most a 4-yr degree or less. You worked hard for it so why not show it off. I would add it to the qualifications in your personal website.
Feel free to write back if you ever want a second set of eyes to critique your work.
Thanks Jules,
regarding my degree I already mentioned it into the autobiography section and into my résumé. I'll see if there's a better place to make it more recognizable.

I made a new post where I made a case study related to the new iteration, it would be great if you take a look :
