BlitZz1507yLooks clean and sleek on mobile (only one I've tested) however, you should lower some of the white space in my opinion. The quote in particular :)

frameborder attribute for iframe and font element are obsolete, replace them with right css rules. Make a 404 page. Nice and smooth work, good job.
-
@nkawesome02 Ok cool. Just making sure CSS didn't fuck you over like it loves to do lol
-
@nkawesome02 oh, Isee. It's an hardcoded 404 or a redirect driven from the .htaccess? Because it's not triggered by something like this http://www.readstudio.org/abc.php

It looks great and it's about an interesting subject (reading) that really matters. For a site which is about reading there is very little to read on the page, but maybe more content is yet to come? IMO, there should be less animations/videos and more textual content. I like reading, I don't like watching videos. Plain text is also more accessible and SEO-friendly. I tried clicking the headings in the video, Read | Explore | Share | should but they are not clickable. Maybe it would be intuitive if they were?

I like the site but a login/registration form WITHOUT SSL/TLS is kinda unacceptable in 2017 :P. Take a look at letsencrypt maybe! Site looks nice by the way :).
-
@linuxxx Yeah I am not an SSL nazi but a site asking for personal info needs encryption.
No excuse with Let's Encrypt as an option now. -
@benoliver999 Oh I think that its essential for every site to run on HTTPS. when you see that providers like Verizon inject super cookies and tracking shit into all traffic flowing through their datacenters, it becomes clear that everything needs to be encrypted in transit!
-
@benoliver999 Also government's can censor sites based on keywords in texts and DPI (Deep Packet Inspection). Through SSL this becomes at least very very hard.

@linuxxx Dammit fine I'll switch my site over. I was kidding myself because ghpages doesn't do https... I think I'm just gonna switch to a cheap VPS.
-
@benoliver999 If you'd like advice on a cheap simple vps provider let me know as well :)
-
@linuxxx Well I use loads of different ones but I'm always happy to hear new recommendations. Tempted to try these guys out https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net although it's not a VPS obv
-
@benoliver999 Hmm looks great! I'm personally a fan of owning my servers (virtual or dedicated) but this one is interesting...
-
@linuxxx Yeah I usually go the VPS route too but for static hosting I'm gonna see how this works out. It's low traffic so seems silly to pay for unused compute time.
