I made this website for people interested in learning about Origami, as well as showcase my models. What do users of ~Tildes think of it?

    I love it! I fold modulars from time to time too, this guy is the only one I have on hand though. I usually bring whatever I've folded and leave it at my parents' house when I visit, haha.

      Thanks for that gratifying reply! I plan to add some Origami resources, and a place for visitors to upload their Origami models and randomly look at a stranger's. What do you think of that idea?

        I'd use it, there's not really a good origami place on the web.

    If anyone has any suggestions about the site or any questions about Origami, I'll be happy to reply.

    I really like what you’ve made, but I won’t contact you for resources or instructions. If you have some without needing to send info, please let me know. I will most likely send my daughter your way regardless since she’s an avid origami maker.

      Thank you so much, and I respect your bluntness. You don't have to send me any info at all unless you want to ask me something. Every model I posted has a title, author name(designer), units used, and the size of paper I used. And the papers tab - https://orikami.in/papers/ has information on various papers in Origami that get confusing if you don't know about them. Once again, you don't have to sign up or send me any contact details. I hope your daughter likes it too!

    Thanks for sharing this! I have always found Origami very interesting but know nothing about it. This site is a very nice introduction for me. Thanks again.

    The site looks good, the only feedback I have is that the portfolio-items take some time to load on a slow internet connection. I am not sure if there is much you can do. Maybe try to load the YouTube player asynchronously if possible?

    The two items that took the longest for me are:

    2.4 seconds for me - https://www.youtube.com/yts/jsbin/player_remote_ux-vfl_Qi58T/en_US/base.js

    4.3 seconds for me - https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Udt59cbuD3M/sddefault.jpg

      The size of the main page is 2.7mb. I tried checking with a bunch of speed checking sites and the average load time is 5 seconds. Speed optimization is something I'm always working towards to bring the best experience.

      But my lack of proficiency with wordpress(this is the first site I've created) means it takes time to learn. But I'll look into your suggestions, thank you for those.

        No problem, I wouldn't worry about it too much unless other folks bring it up. My connection is really slow :/

        Oh, and just to be clear, the home page is fast enough for me, it is just the https://orikami.in/portfolio-item/abcd pages that load a bit slow for me.. but again, I would make sure it's a problem for other people before putting too much time into it.
