I just launched a website for us all. The reason I created it is because good quality and relevant websites FOR us are hard to find. I mean, there are organization-owned websites that push political agendas, but ugh. I felt like there is a need for this.

I’m also looking for contributors! I want this website to have voices from all over the world. This is not my blog, I want it to be a valuable resource.

Please feel free to check it out, and give feedback on how it can be improved.

The link: https://www.thedigitalaspie.com/

The “aspie” part of the website name was chosen because it sounds less clinical or rather more casual/friendly. Please know that no offense is meant.

[-] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Oh? Can you be more specific?

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

The thing I noticed first is that titles get cut off without an elipsis.

Ah ok. I haven’t tweaked it a whole let yet. It definitely needs polished. I’ll see if it can be improved or not, and if not I’ll swap it out.

Anything else that immediately stands out?

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

Its too busy. Too complicated. I think I clicked on a post title and it took me to the tag?

[-] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Oooh ok, gotcha! Thank you for the feedback! I’ll tweak the theme next week to something simpler :)

The light/dark switch sits at a height where I normally read and covers text. Maybe move it up or down or increasd the right margin on the text?

Gotcha, yeah I see that’s definitely a problem! Thank you for showing me.
