Core 567 website changes
I’ve just made a few changes to this website, and I’m documenting them here as a personal paper trail of the evolution of www.core567.com. Here are the changes:
- Changed fonts face. Titles and headings moved from Redhat to Faustina, and the rest of the text moved from Inclusive Sans to Source Sans 3.
- Slightly reduced font size.
- Increased line height, text leading, and letter spacing to improve readability.
- Removed the dedicated blog page. Now the homepage shows all blog posts, instead of the last 6 only. I’ll review this choice once there’s more content (probably add pagination).
- Changed page heading style.
- Fixed a bug in the Tailwind configuration that prevented fonts whose name has spaces in it to be rendered correctly in Safari.
- Fixed sitemap to include all pages, and not just those generated from a
.mdfile.
Changes are implemented in commits between 244f9db and 9980aa0 inclusive.
The changes above address the main gripes and readability issues I had with the previous version of this website, but there are various other improvements that I want to do once I have some time:
- Better automatic resizing of images (currently they’re cut in a weird way).
- Remove unnecessary white space in blog post link cards.
- Better usage of colours.
- Improve homepage header.
- Reduce padding in lists.
