Modifying SpaceHey is difficult

I finished modifying my own layout for my SpaceHey profile which I call Mostly Modernized SpaceHey, which is still not done because I'm a perfectionist. I might publish it or not, idk.

Modifying SpaceHey's layout is difficult. 
I had to use absolute positioning and floating layouts just to make my thing happen effectively and my layout is full of workarounds because of how SpaceHey's DOM elements look (screen reader users, sorry!)

I know, I know, I'm a mostly modern web developer that doesn't know how floats fully works, and I eventually made it work well on my needs, but using floats or absolute positioning is hell to make it responsive but I actually made it work (thank god media queries), and I made things anchor on the top of my profile page below the navbar, which makes things actually work well, instead of anchoring it on the viewport which would be hell.

I don't think something should change or something but it shows how the web evolved and we now have things like flexboxes and grid layouts that works better for layouting sites.

That's about it or smth, I might blog more here but bigger blogs/posts will stay on my site for reasons like more customization and JS support.
