How old were you when you accepted you’ll never be done “polishing” your personal website? This perpetual redesign is no longer a phase.
Couple months ago, worse thing for me is that I was stuck in the “Figma (design) phase” thankfully I recently changed my approach and shipped an MVP version and I’m still tweaking it but I’m more happy now.
On personal sites. I never use reader view. Even if I don’t like it, I want to respect and experience the author’s intention using their design.
