Shameless plug: I’ve been a “technical” UX person for my whole career, and a big fan of (and trained by) the Nielsen Norman Group, mentioned elsewhere in this thread. I’ve always enjoyed this “principles” approach to UX design and wrote “101 UX Principles” in 2018: https://uxbook.io - please do check it out, it’s ideal for non-UX specialists to understand the usability reasons behind common design decisions (and mistakes to avoid). Plug over!

Surprised to see all your text content is centre-aligned on mobile. Surely that’s not a UX best-practice as it degrades the “readability” of the content?

I don't think it matters for short sentences / bullet points. I'd agree for paragraphs, however.

I found the centering making it more difficult to read. I also cannot overview the lists as well. Centering requires the reader to retarget their eyes at a different place every line.

In the praise section, I was confused about which text belonged to which person.

The page scrolls horizontally in iOS 13.x Safari.

Would love a copy but price is pretty steep from what I see, any HN discount? :)

Check your gmail :)

If you're hooking up interested parties, I'm volunteering :)

Emailed you just now :)

Thanks man, I'll be sure to recommend it to friends after I give it a good read :)
