Thank you very much for constructive criticism! I appreciate it all! I should have noted in the question these apps are more to show my developing skills as I am not looking to be a designer. I just want to focus on development for the time being. I will style off the pages you mentioned and try to make them easier to read. Thanks again for the input!

No problem. I recently wrote a book (https://kokev.in/hired-fast) that helps junior devs get jobs, I'd be happy to send you a copy if you email me (you can find my email in my profile)

I wish there was an option to just buy the ebook for $10 or something. I would very likely have bought it instantly if it was an option. As a college student $39 is a bit steep, especially when I can't find any external reviews.

I also agree the price is a bit high, but it says you can get a refund within 30 days.

Thanks for the feedback! I settled on that price for a lot of reasons, but mostly because: 1. it helps you get better jobs, faster. That to me is worth thousands, much less $39. 2. I share techniques that lose a bit of their value if every applicant knew about them, so pricing high protects my readers in a way.

It's hard to find a balance, I'm not 100% positive if this is the right pricing for it. But, like the sibling poster mentioned, I offer a full refund and you can always sign up for a free sample—it also adds you to the mailing list wherein I share some useful info for free.
