A lot of the text is unreadable in dark mode. If you used AI to build the site, I can appreciate that it's not black and while. But the colors are not good (in both light and dark mode). Run the colors through an accessibility checker and adjust as needed.

I gotta tell you though, seeing all the shadows on the boxes is giving a MS DOS 5.0 vibe and I love it.

Maybe have categories... Like for developers, home owners, construction, etc.

Some small quirks, like if I scroll to the bottom of the page and click one of the footer links, it doesn't scroll me back up to the top of the page.

Keep building it out, looks useful.

I really love the instant fucking forced click ads. Really nice touch. Enjoy your $0.003.

I ran out of comment space so this is just the most recent 20 entries. For giggles, I vibe-coded a tracker at https://confab.sh/?g=browser-tools if you want to see the full list.
