[Beginner Coder]Looking for Feedback on my Website
So I did tell you guys, I do Webdevelopment as a hobby, right?
Anyway I am still a beginner when it comes to hardcoding but I tried to scramble all my knowledge I have so far of programming languages and web frameworks/libs (HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery, Bootstrap) together and create an own Animelist Ultimately I want it to work like MyAnimeList but I have waaays to go^^
Anyway looking for feedback and what to improve. Also please TEST the site for it's functionality :P
As I learn more about Webdevelopment I plan to add a user login area, an episode counter...&much more ofc! Gimme your ideas!

Why do you have a login / register function that ties to nothing?
It's alright for starters
For a project that's based off the bootstrap framework it's a good way to get "started."
But you should really look into how to make your own custom sites without the help of additional frameworks. Gives you a better understanding about CSS/HTML etc. Also don't be afraid to sketch out on paper what you want a site to look like. Sometimes that's always a good method for physical representation to help you keep on track!

Do you have an anime database ? If not, that's where I'd start.
I personally do :
database;
sketch;
html/css/js;
PHP (setup routes and work with the db);
combine the PHP with the template.
My projects are usually small. I use Silex (PHP Framework) with Twig for templating (makes it easy for step 5).
Themes for bootstrap : https://bootswatch.com
Color schemes : https://coolors.co
Starting point : http://www.initializr.com
Try not to use Bootstrap's components for now and don't focus much on the colors/borders etc ... Keep it simple.
Good luck!
Good start keep going!
It's good to be a beginner at "hardcoding".
P.s. avoid it
So much nice feedback
Thanks guys! This is awesome!
Scratching out my layout on paper sounds fun tbh xD Will do that some time for sure!
Because I tried to put as much of my knowledge in this as I can. For now it doesnt matter that the login function has no other function than the mere feature to login itself.
As I havent learned about using MySQL and PHP for now this is about as much as I can achieve (register + login). Obviously it only works with browser cache so if you used inkognito mode it will be all cleared the next time you open your browser.
It's quite good as for beginner, keep going However there are some small design details I recommend to fix. And as you know from Steve (I think you got it, but if not - Steve Jobs) all small details matter. For example tabs when hover are really light and blend in with text. White top border of table also does not look good.
It's always good to take the brake after you are done and after it recheck website for all small details
Good for starters.
Those are all at the top of my head. Won't comment on the font choice since it's a personal preference anyway.
It's the best way to learn. The nice thing about learning client-side stuff is that you can look at how every other website and deconstruct what they're doing.
A bit of work needs to be done on the login system: I just registered with a blank username and blank password.
Validation can't hurt?
Thanks for all the feedback yet again! For all those that are wondering what happened to the website: I have uploaded another of my projects (a Patatap clone) for testing purposes^^ The GitHub link is still active though
Maybe you could host your projects in subfolders so you don't have to overwrite everything
Looks good.
Great start.
Good idea mate Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback Sir
