Um das Bilder-Handling kümmere ich mich gerade. Das macht mich wahnsinnig. Bisher geht es bei unterschiedlichen Versuchen das zu beheben einfach nur auf unterschiedliche Arten kaputt 😂

Both designs are clear. What are the biggest changes you did?

I actually got lost reading your shell tricks. There were a few I didn't know about so thanks for sharing.

Very useful. Must not forget to use them. 😉

Another thing, some article's first picture overflow its box on mobile, I experienced this with both versions (old, new).

The new one offers better readability thanks to the contrast, looks "techier", but a little more sterile due to the consolish (and just a little too big) title font (the only thing I like more about the old design).

Especially the improved contrast and thus better readability.
One thing I personally would reconsider is the combination of blue and green. Blue links turn green. Green elements next to blue icons. Might be just my personal preference though 🙂
