Roast me. Made a set of stairs by myself

This is the biggest project I've taken on myself.

The stringers were the hardest part. The rise/run was originally for carpet and I didn't realize the difference until I had it all staged. I traced the skirt since you can see there was no "real" stringers and then learned my mistakes and did the calculations for rise and run myself.

I really wanted to add a third, middle stringer, but time was crunchy as we had a house warming coming up. I opted against it since it wasn't there in the original build

Once I got about 3-4 stairs in I started realizing the stringers weren't perfectly leveled despite my best efforts, so I kept the treads as level as I could which resulted in a couple gaps in the risers.

What did I mess up? What could I have done better?
