I have time to develop tomorrow and I want to make it effective.
I am new to creating design.
:root {
--primary: #4a7b9d; /\* Muted blue */
--secondary: #e3f2fd; /* Light background */
--accent: #1565c0; /* Accent color for buttons, for instance */
--text: #333333; /* Main text */
}body {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; /* Consistent font */
font-size: 1rem;
line-height: 1.6; /* Comfortable line spacing */
color: var(--text);
background-color: #f8f9fa; /* Light background */
}h1 { font-size: 2.2rem; }
h2 { font-size: 1.8rem; }
h3 { font-size: 1.4rem; }
.container {
padding: 2rem; /* Generous padding for main blocks */
max-width: 1200px;
margin: 0 auto;
}.card {
background: white;
border-radius: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 12px
rgba(0,0,0,0.08); /* Subtle shadow for "cards" / transition: transform 0.3s ease; /* Smooth hover effect */
padding: 1.5rem;
margin-bottom: 1.5rem;
}.card:hover {
transform: translateY(-5px); /* Card subtly lifts on hover \*/
box-shadow: 0 6px 16px rgba(0,0,0,0.12);
}Don't forget about responsiveness – so many people browse on their phones these days, so make sure your site looks great on any device. You could simplify the menu and perhaps make the header a bit smaller, maybe even add a logo instead of just text. Overall, these changes shouldn't take too long. Swapping out colors and adding padding is probably just 1-2 hours. Improving the cards and optimizing tags – another 2-3 hours. Navigation and responsiveness are a bit more complex, maybe 3-4 hours. And then you can add the fine details, like animations, which might take 4+ hours. The main thing to remember is: "less is more." Even small tweaks can make a huge difference!
I plan on adding more features tomorrow, and I will use padding for them. I am adding a like feature, and a comments feature. Not sure which one to do first, but they will be there.. thanks so much for your response, that really means a lot to me

I had a lot of fun building it, and would love to see what the community thinking of it. I put a heavy emphasis on making the UI beautiful on both mobile and desktop.
Any feedback? Areas in which the site can improve? I’d love to hear it!
Would love to see if any devs want to assist in its further development as well.

Had a lot of fun developing this when I had some free time though, thought I’d share it to the world.
