multi-embed
Aug 29, 2024
[changelog 29.08.2024]
Today i added support for multiple images to appear in both embeds across the web, and also as thumbnails on my art page!
very enjoyable, very cute! i used the magic of scroll snapping to achieve it so that when you scroll onto one it will have the right gaps and things
pagination
Jun 24, 2024
[changelog 24.06.24]
I added pagniation to my site because maybe loading several hundred images in a single page, even with caching and lazy loading, is a bad idea. my art pages are paginated at 60 posts per page (because it can be divided by 3, 2, and 1. the different column sizes my site has), and my blog at 10 (because its a nice number and blog posts take up more space). happy its finally done!
I also want to eventually implement multiple images in the page metadata, so that art pieces can have multiple images in them and other sites can render that, but my metadata code is Bad at the moment so i cannot.

[changelog 25.04.2024]
Yesterday, i was thinking once again about digital tombstones. The things we leave behind once we are no longer online for whatever reason. My site is not static, the server is programmed with nodejs, express, and liquid (and other irrelevant stuff). while some pages are more manually crafted, the blog/art pages autogenerate from the 800+ posts on my site (which is a lot wow), and then each post page is generated via its own page, markdown, etc.
This means as soon as i can no longer afford to pay my VPN bills, my website vanishes. I do not want this.
So yesterday and the day before i gave myself the task of making my site generator able to run on its own, apart from the actual web server itself. and i did that! i can now generate my entire site via a small script, and have that running every two weeks on my server, so in the worst possible case, i will only loose two weeks of my work. You can visit the archive here. The archive has a notice that it is an archive, and a date it was last updated!
It is being hosted on neocities, which i picked because it's goal has always been to provide free and good hosting for static sites, and while it is smaller then something like amazon, i think it will stick around for a long time. in fact the neocities supporter will be the second last subscription i have that i get rid of to reduce spending. (the last being the server itself). it's not perfect, but its the best solution for me, for now.

[changelog 30.03.24]
I finally moved all my static files to a /static url so they weren't all on the base url, had to do a bit of fenagiling with that.
I also added metrics! just tells me how many times a page has been visited and the number of kudos. i have chosen not to put this on the actual site however because i don't like the peer pressure type feeling that would create, i also feel pressured by numbers to do Good Posting, so i have come up with a comprimse where for me the data is hidden by default and i have to press buttons to see it. it does also mean that kudos is avaliable on every page now and not just posts c:
I also added some css for insert and delete so that i can better update things!
I also removed the tweemoji script, meaning everything on my site is now first party, when you open my site you are only talking to me. one on one personal conversation. a lil gay if you ask me <3
