[x] I‘d bring this in locally, lest we accidentally break your site for you:
https://github.com/amelyrichter/Manuscript/blob/8b2c60b14b487c3f5d9d56b9e22ea0c10b15d62b/index.html#L5
[x] Could use an
hgrouporheaderhere, wrappingh1and ap. (Steve isn’t really a section?)https://github.com/amelyrichter/Manuscript/blob/8b2c60b14b487c3f5d9d56b9e22ea0c10b15d62b/index.html#L13-L14
[x]
articleare meant to be “self-contained”… so I think maybe your use throughout would be better assectionwithin onearticleoverall.[x] Likewise the
aside > blockquoteis probably redundant? Could use theblockquote, I think. (Theasideimplies they are not directly related to the text.)[x] When you find yourself repeating anything in code, think “there has to be a better way”. Ex: all the
font-family: "Imperial Script", cursive;and"Montserrat", sans-serif;could be group selectors or a class?[x] On to vibes. Kudos on approaching your sketch aesthetic so thoroughly!
[x] I’d bring that ugly title up some—125–150% of where it is now:
[x] Base paragraph width could come out a bit—help with some of the widows and lines that are justifying t o o w i d e l y.
[x] Maybe some more
line-height, too? These are very blocky blocks, but somewhat hard to read at length.[x] These uglies feel “small” within the other text. General rule/trick for this—scale them up until their x-heights match the other text and they’ll feel more cohesive:
[x] Could use more separation/differentiation, here—I completely missed it, first scroll through:
Maybe even structural? Tint the background? Switch left/right? Big ol’ heading?
[x] It gets a bit… formally repetitive down in the bottom half or so. What could we do to bring expressiveness down there? Couple of Big Pink Quotes? I need some “handholds” as I “climb down.”
[x] Likewise, I want an end moment half as powerful as the “above the fold”! It kind of… fades out down there and the end is as powerful as placement/opportunity as the start.
Overall this is really coming together! I think you can hone this in and now add some nuance, with such strong fundamentals.
