When I started developing websites about ten years ago, one of the hardest things was to get someone else's opinion for my pages.
That's why I'm now trying to help others out by reviewing their portfolios. Just post the link to your page and I'll review it during a live stream in YT.
Some of the things I'll take a look at:
- site speed
- SEO
- design and UX
- content
//EDIT
The reviews are visible in this Youtube playlist:

Oh and...! If you are interested in coding, growth mindset and are willing to share your experiences, ideas, then please do PM me on Twitter :)!

Hey Timo!

I created a video where I reviewed your portfolio:

The design- wow!
In general, I love the design and structure. It's a good example of what a developer's portfolio should be about.
There are some minor things I'd change, so please do let me know what you think :). That way I can improve my feedback skills and help others.
Hey Keth,
thanks for the review and the feedback! I definitely agree with you and I will see if I can come up with something shorter.
By the way, I would like to get in touch with you because of something else. If you like, please send me an email. :)
Thanks!

I believe it's a nice portfolio - you have your skills and works brought out. Design wise, it's solid. Could maybe create bigger contrast between colors as Adam commented. I would also consider changing the structure of blocks.
Please do let me know your thoughts and if I should improve something in the way I commented the page :)!
Thank you so much! I will work on some enhancements and will submit it again on some future reviews.
You got a sub
Ooh! Thank you and I'm happy you found it useful!
I just made a simple one now!
rishabkumar.com
It looks nice ;)!
You can try adding some border-radius for images.
I dig it but one thing, your menu text could be higher contrast.
Thanks for the feedback, will make some changes!

That portfolio was just super super dope! Great job!
I didn't know the design wasn't yours, but hey...it's your portfolio and it looks great!
Here's is mine sunchayn.github.io/old. It's marked as old and kinda outdated as I'm planning to make a new portfolio. It would be great to see how you would review it. It would be a reference for me to see what's working and what's not working for my next portfolio. Thanks!
Hey Mazen :)! Thank you for the submission.

Please do let me know if I've provided any useful info and if you agree/disagree. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to review my portfolio and for the kind words. I'll look into the accessibility issues Lighthouse flagged. I'm pretty sure I know what it's complaining about and it can easily be fixed.
As for the content & layout, my philosophy has always been to make the content king, as you mentioned. It's the same principle I applied to the page with my experience and to my blog.
I've wanted to write a regular blog for a long time, but never found the right formula that worked for me and got me posting things regularly. One day, I came up with the concept of 1 Thing A Week and almost 3 years later, I'm still blogging! I wrote about some of my thinking for week 74. I would highly recommend this approach for blogging or even for any project you might be thinking of tackling. Just set aside a bit of time to do 1 thing each week and before you know it those 'weeks' of effort will turn into something! Even 1 thing a month if a week is too frequent. It just gives you a repeatable target.
I commented on this recently:
Bizarrely, I've made more progress since having kids than before! But when say more progress, I mean I've completed two small projects in three years :D
One of them does require weekly input so I just set aside a couple of hours on a Sunday to take care of that.
For both projects (and other unfinished ones), it was just about getting started. Even an hour a week was more than enough for me to see tangible progress. Didn't take long for me to want to get it to a releasable, if not finished, state.
It is hard with kids, and at every step they need different types of attention which can take a lot of energy. But as I said, my advice would be to just get started. No matter how small that start is, you'll only be building on top of it going forward. Good luck!
As I suspected, it was a some secondary text that was impacting the accessibility score. I didn't want to remove it so I removed the opacity property and it's passing again so it now shows 100 across the board 🎉
Awesome and I'm glad you fixed it! Keep up the good work!

I love the feel of this, just something tiny, on your project section your links are the opposite way round the eye goes to GitHub and the GitHub logo goes to the site. Other than that I really like it. 😁
Thanks you Sir😊.
