OP here – just chiming in to say I'm enjoying how nice everyone is being :D Glad to hear other folks have the same feelings towards SF!

Shameless promo: I made a gallery that curates great landing pages, and sorts them according to section for easy reference.
As a designer who sometimes works on landing pages, I’ve found it really helpful get a horizontal cross-section of what the best people are doing for a specific page section like pricing, feature overview, or hero.
Hope you find this useful too.

Pretty sure some of us still have WeeZeel t-shirts around!

Can you elaborate more? This sounds like an interesting thought.

Thanks and sorry! Will keep that in mind next time I use Show HN.

Hmm. Good point. I guess it would be more technically accurate to say I wield design to solve problems, and code to build out my designs.
Can't say I've solved many strictly technical problems outside of some quick Python scripts to analyze board game endgames.

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely actively looking for a job, so I'll go ahead and change that blurb.

It's not much, but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.
I tried to let my work speak for itself by keeping the visual flourish to a minimum. I learned a lot about using white space and typography to enhance a fairly minimal design.

That's a good idea. I'd have to look into how to get copies of licensed fonts to analyze. Actually paying for a license would make this project completely unfeasible.

This redesign is awesome, but I think it might have killed my side project.
I’ve been working on a site that offers google fonts with better visuals and search by font feature (x-height, stroke contrast, etc) functionality.
Sunk 30+ hours into it designing + coding up the front end while my friend works on programmatically tagging the font on the backend.
I want to continue working on my project, but it now feels a lot less relevant. Any advice, HN?
For the curious, here's a wireframe of the main screen:https://www.dropbox.com/s/vzobxm2a2ul9y5l/main%20search.png?...

Should have specified we're B2B. But that's great to hear. Thanks.
