Alternative to Medium - Work in progress

Hello Guys,
as I can't post it on Reddit, I now post it here.

I am currently 14 years old, and I started building a Medium alternative, here you currently only see a screenshot, as it is a work in progress.

I want to ask for UI improvements. Likewise, I already know a lot of improvements myself that I am currently working on - but I am looking forward to all suggestions 😃

There is some kind of demo already running at https://devsfordevs.com, but it is also my old portfolio and yea, not that updated.

My current portfolio is https://www.benherbst.net/

Not yet but it is also not finished, I plan to do it a bit like Forem so a docker image, and you can easily create your own instances of it
