Comment on Critique my first website [please]

Comments

I made it in my final year of Secondary School.

I was hesitant to share because the target auidence isn't exactly HN, but I imagine that they're lots of clever people here who'd be able to emphasize anyways.

I know that it's not the best example of responsive design and that it's basically a sandcaste* so I was hoping for some general design mistakes that I can learn from before I rebuild the site. Particularly things that're unintuitive or out of place.

Thanks, Jean-Le

*I needed to complete a prototype for a competition so I ended up building a sandcaste out of javascript-- Should've used wordpress for the demo... but in the heat of everything and with writing my own final exams, I just kept building it was a single page monster with ALL of the notes being stored in the javascript file >.< Seriously... when you click a new note, it just replaces the contents of an <article>... my logic being that all the extra text in the javascript cost less bandwith than a picture.

I plan to build most of the backend stuff in Clojure, so if anyone has any advice on that it's very welcome.
