This is my first sideproject using a serverless architecture, would love to hear any feedback you might have. Thanks!

What libraries did you use to make your site server less? Any gotchas during development that were noteworthy?
Nothing noteworthy, aws lambda and api gateway with dynamodb to handle the submissions. Cloudfront/s3 for the static content. The only tooling i used was kappa which is a very lightweight deployment wrapper for lambda.
Please please please get rid of the emoji.
I like the emoji makes it fun. There just isn't enough emotions. Intense happiness, anger, boredom etc but nothing less extreme.
I took this screenshot on my android phone. Personally I think this looks obnoxious and confusing, but maybe I'm just old https://imgur.com/RFyBthX
Im old too :) thanks for the feedback i think the emojis in the submissions are probably a bit much.
Thanks for sharing your website. I think the idea is great-- a simple place to share just the basics about your job. Good luck with it, I'll be sure to keep it bookmarked :)
I'm late 30s so emoji love could be the midlife crisis.
