Iterating privacy.garden
A few days ago, I kicked off a new side project called privacy.garden. It’s an aggregator focused on privacy news from around the web.
The aesthetic wasn’t quite what I was after so, although this isn’t it’s final form, as you can see below I’ve made some changes.
I used an image entitled Vintage Wall Gate from Pixabay for the header image, and changed the title fonts to serif. I’m not a big fan these days of Google Fonts, etc. given that everything looks fine just using whatever default serif and sans-serif fonts users have installed.
I didn’t want a really bright orange RSS icon, so I chose this one. Then, to ensure the colour balance with the background green, I used the coolors.co website. After sharing on the Fediverse, Kev Quirk suggested some formatting tweaks, so thanks to him for those.
It’s nice to have a site that I visit myself as it auto-updates with news from around the web. If you’ve got suggestions for RSS feeds or iterating the design further, please let me know!
