[Project][Feedback] Personal Blog: 🚀⚡️ Blazing fast blog built with GatsbyJS 🔥

[viral-sangani]

Hello Mentors,

I have designed and developed a web application using:

• GatsbyJS
• HTML5/CSS3
• Hosted on serverless AWS S3/AWS CloudFront (CDN) and used AWS Lambda Functions.

The blog is responsive with Like function similar to Medium.com and subscribes option created using AWS Lambda function.

The project is live @ https://blog.viralsangani.me/ The Github Link

@viral-sangani The blog is really nice! This is probably one of the cleanest designed blog app, that I have reviewed. Kudos on the efforts :raised_hands: . The readability is great, which is quite important for blogs. Also - https://blog.viralsangani.me/posts/why-my-blog-is-not-on-medium/ this post gives a good explanation, on the purpose of this project itself, which is cool.

Issues that I noticed:

• On Firefox only The code highlight looks janky, not exactly sure whether this is an issue with gatsby-highlight or something else. Always make sure to perform cross-browser testing, different things might have differently :smiley_cat:

Some minor nitpicks:

• The date, and some other text on light mode cannot be seen properly. Maybe make it a little darker
• Probably align the dark mode switcher icon, with your email address

Awesome work! encourage you to keep building to cool things :smile:

@Shriram-Balaji Thank you so much for the feedback :)

• Yes, Highlight is because of gatsby-highlight, but I will try to figure out some alternative.

I will definitely work on the points you mentioned.
