Description

Describe the bugs

While reviewing the live documentation, I identified two technical issues that affect user experience and UI consistency:

  1. Broken "Follow" Link (404 Not Found): The "Website" link under the "Follow" button on the About page is configured as a relative link instead of an absolute URL. This causes a 404 error as it tries to navigate to /about/jderobot.github.io instead of the actual organization homepage.

  2. FontAwesome Kit Error (403 Forbidden): The script at line 561 (https://kit.fontawesome.com/4eee35f757.js) is failing to load. This prevents icons from rendering correctly across the site.

To Reproduce
  1. Go to the VisualCircuit About Page.
  2. Click the Follow button and select Website -> Observe the 404 error.
  3. Open DevTools (F12) and check the Console -> Observe the 403 error for the FontAwesome kit.

Technical Analysis
  • Navigation: The link needs to be updated from jderobot.github.io to https://jderobot.github.io to prevent relative pathing.
  • Icons: The FontAwesome Kit ID 4eee35f757 likely needs the jderobot.github.io domain added to its whitelist, or the project should move to a standard CDN.
Suggested Solution

I am happy to submit a Pull Request to fix the relative link and update the FontAwesome implementation if directed to the preferred configuration files.

Research direction

Start with the About and Tutorial page sources and inspect the FontAwesome script around line 561. Verify the Follow > Website destination and the browser console error, then confirm the link resolves correctly and icons load without a 403 on the affected pages.
