Critique My Blog Design


I wondered if the people of HN could critique my blog design.

It's here: https://incoherency.co.uk/blog2/

The version it is meant to replace is at https://incoherency.co.uk/blog/ - the new version is meant to be less cluttered and less ugly, and honour a dark mode preference.

I'd like to know whether the new version is actually an improvement, whether you think it looks ugly, whether you think it is too hard to read, and what improvements you would suggest.

Cheers!

The former version has tags and your name and a great photo of yours.

The latter version has color which suits better for the content (just opinion, no arguing)

Both versions has ugly "read more" button which goes to the same place as header of every article. I do not give any recommendations of how to do it better but I do not want make so much clicks on your website to read all the articles which fits my interest. Most of articles fits, because you like programming and metals.

Looks fine. I'd make the content area less wide; on my MBP (2017, 2880x1800 resolution) it's a bit of a tedious reading experience.

I really like it. So clean. Lots of whitespace. Even non-serif fonts (for maximum clarity?) :)

Also - nice choice of colors. They're pleasing, and readable.
