Website Issues — TODO

Audit of maksym-taranukhin.github.io (Jekyll + remote theme BDHU/minimalist). Grouped by severity. File/line references are given for each item.

High priority (bugs / broken UX)

• BlueSky icon will not render. Fixed — _includes/head-custom.html now loads Font Awesome 6.6.0 with an updated SRI hash, and that release includes fa-bluesky.
• Duplicate analytics tracking. Fixed — Google Tag Manager (GTM-NRZT7XTV) is the single analytics entry point; the direct GA4 include is no longer included from _includes/head-custom.html.
• Sidebar email never shows. Fixed — email is available as a sidebar item rendered by the desktop and mobile sidebar link templates; the redundant standalone sidebar paragraph remains removed.
• Theme toggle does not persist. Fixed — assets/js/theme-toggle.js stores explicit light/dark choices in localStorage and only follows prefers-color-scheme when no user choice is stored.
• Moon + sun both visible in the toggle. Fixed — assets/css/custom-layout.css now hides the inactive icon based on the checkbox state.
• Zone.Identifier files committed. Fixed — the NTFS alternate-data-stream artifacts were deleted from assets/img/, and .gitignore now ignores *:Zone.Identifier.

Medium priority (correctness / polish)

• Verify arXiv link for InfoGatherer. Verified — arXiv 2603.05909 is the InfoGatherer paper with the matching title, author list, and March 6, 2026 submission date.
• Meta refresh fallback for aprvideo.html. Fixed — the page now includes a meta refresh redirect and a visible fallback link.
• External sidebar links missing rel="noopener noreferrer". Fixed — _includes/sidebar.html and _includes/links-mobile.html both now render links with rel="noopener noreferrer".
• Twitter / X inconsistency. Fixed — the sidebar now uses X branding (fa-x-twitter) and links to https://x.com/mtaranukhin; structured data uses the same URL through site.social.links.
• Hard-coded LinkedIn URL in structured data. Fixed — _includes/structured-data.html now emits sameAs from site.social.links, avoiding duplicated social URLs.
• Obsolete IE 9 html5shiv shim. Fixed — the conditional html5shiv script was removed from _layouts/default.html.
• robots.txt served as static file. Fixed — robots.txt now has layout: null front matter and renders the sitemap URL with Liquid.
• site.webmanifest.json location. Fixed — the manifest now lives at /site.webmanifest, and icon paths are root-relative through Liquid.
• Stylesheet cache-busting uses site.github.build_revision. Fixed — _layouts/default.html now falls back to a local timestamp when site.github.build_revision is unavailable.

Low priority / nits

• Footer is a single <p> with no semantic wrapper. Fixed — _layouts/default.html now renders the sidebar footer as a semantic <footer class="sidebar-footer">.
• !important overrides in custom-layout.css. Fixed — unnecessary !important flags were removed while keeping the stylesheet loaded after the remote theme.
• 404 page styling is inline. Fixed — the 404-specific styles now live in assets/css/custom-layout.css, and 404.html uses a .not-found wrapper.
• description in _config.yml and index.md differ. Fixed — _config.yml and index.md now use the same description text: “Postdoctoral researcher at UBC”.
• vendor/ presence. vendor/ is listed in .gitignore and contains no git-tracked files — no action needed.
• README is boilerplate from GitHub Learning Lab. Current README.md already describes the site accurately (Jekyll setup, local dev, deployment, license) — no Learning Lab text present.
