Niklaus Gerber - Issue #38
New year → New website. This week the latest version of my personal website niklausgerber.com went live. Of those who kept visiting my page in the last couple of years saw that I started stripping it down. The latest version does not seem like much and that is my intention. Why I decided to dump the blog and all the side project I will explain in a Medium-Post in the next couple of weeks.
Anyhow, I am very happy with it. It took me a long time to find the perfect typography that works on any screen or device. It scores the magical 99/100 on PageSpeed Insights (For the 100 I would need to dump Google Analytics). Furthermore, there is a lot of clever things going on in the background.
I hope you enjoy this weeks issue. If you feel like please share the newsletter. It would be great if I could get some more readers this year.
Now I am wishing you guys a good start in the week.
Kind regards
Niklaus
