One thing that might be worth thinking about is how tall your design is gonna be; Id suggest avoiding making it so people have to scroll to see the full layout.
With that in mind I would saaayyy; most people use a 1080p resolution and a fullscreen browser (I think; even if you have a 4k screen its prob scaling to 1080 size). That means you have 1080 pixels of vertical screen space, and about 300 of those are taken up by UI elements in the browser and OS. SO that leaves about 780px of vertical space for you; make sure that your pixel layout is not taller than that! (Including padding around it)
Id say try and use as few image segments as possible, the more you have the more complex it'll be to make. Noni is correct; make a big still background image, then add animated stuff on top of it.
One thing that would be super cool would be if you put a split down the middle of your main frame and make it stretch with the browser, then it would expand and oooo that would be cool!
EXPERIENCE the forum with maximum immersion with the OFFICIAL MelonLand Vivaldi theme
This theme was crafted from high quality free-range colours I caught directly from my own colour snapping tool; its guaranteed to provide at least some enjoyment and possibly lots if you really enjoy it!
Personally I would download the home.html, rename in index.html then reupload it (and it will overwrite the old one) but you can also just copy-paste the contents.
Im guessing you use the neocities editor because your asking this?? I would highly recommend switching to a local editor and the neocities cli if your site is starting to grow because it'll be much easier to manage ^^
The only bug Iv run into is that sometimes they jitter for ages before relaxing into a position. Annnddd it would be cool if youu could drag them around!
Oh, I came here to do my usual welcome but everyone beat me to it
Welcome to the forum! Wow you've never owned a Nintendo console? You could buy them all and give yourself the most ultimate Christmas morning mega gift!
After a FULL year of waiting since ordering, my Playdate finally arrived today
For those of you who dont know, the Playdate is a small limited run handheld console made by Panic; weirdly the same company that makes my fav website editor (Nova) but most people know them more for making Firewatch and a dumb game about a goose I never played! The ad is cute!
It has a very reflective 2bit screen, a speaker, some buuttoons and a crank and also wifi and 4GB storage! Currently there is no midi player app but I WANT ONE; side note it would be really cool to make a web radio station that just played midis.
Also I really didn't plan to make anything for it, but now that its in my hands ooohh do i wanna make something for it If you dont have one but wanna make stuff for it you can get a simulator on their dev page (its also got a game making program thing that I think lets you make games with minimal dev skills)
Iv been trying out unofficial sideloaded apps today, so far my favorite is this dumb horse racing simulator.
Your actually looking for 3 things! A desktop feed reader, a mobile feed reader and a feed aggregator (the thing that collects your feeds and syncs them)
Its true, most feed aggregators are paid these days and while you can self host FreshRSS (Like meeeee) it only makes sense economically if you already have your own web server.
If you use a Mac and an iPhone you can use NetNewsWire and it will sync your feeds over iCloud for free, but thats only good if you are into the Apple ecosystem.
Im surprised more e-mail providers don't also offer feed aggregation
It was actually totally fine in Safari (I used safari to develop it), people say that Safari and Chrome use the same rendering engine, but I always seem to have TOTALLY different bugs between those two browsers.
But yeah, since it is a PROFESSIONAL site, I kinda needed it to actually work reliably for everyone In general though I don't worry about reliability and it sometimes bites me!
I had a dream last night where this forum was like a physical location, it was a cool clubhouse in an abandoned warehouse, it had like canteen tables and sofas and huge dusty windows that looked out over a river and everyone was just chilling out being cool kids. (There were also an old irl friend of mine who's no longer in my life and it was nice but also weird seeing them there)
BUT then there was someone from the local residents association who was complaining that we were noisy and a bad influence on local housing values. I was like heck no we are great tenants and not noisy at all! But everyone seemed a bit worried about it
This is a good first site! I would add some padding to the sides of the body and also make the nav easier to see (I didn't notice it at first). I also think the background images are a little bland, you could do something more fun with them to create a mood. Im not really a fan on transparent backgrounds, but if that suits you then go for it. Your actual code seemed really clean and well made!
Overall though I think you could relax a bit with it, have fun, be creative, don't worry if things break. Making a site is like painting when you're 5, it's not about creating a perfect image it's about expressing yourself and enjoying the paint.
Omgosh! I just noticed its totally broken on chrome and chrome-based browsers! Uggh I wish everyone would just delete chrome so i would not have to figure out how to fix this
I'll post an update if I do work it out since its an interesting issue. As far as I can see masks.. or text in masks or.. text that folloows paths just does not work in chrome
EDIT: OK so, Chrome does not fully support the latest SVG features: in particular it does not support SVG 2.0 that allows you to snap text to a <circle> instead of a dedicated <path> (what Im doing).. So the only fix is to replaced circles with paths.. but thats actually really complicated sooooooo. screw chrome users. you can see my site properly when your crappy browser gets updated :omg:k: (Unless I change my mind..)
EDIT2: Sigh. I fixed it! And yes it was a ridiculous process! I had to convert the circle to a path using this page. HOWEVER that path was inverted and there no way to un-invert it.. So you have to convert the path to an svg file using this site then import that svg file into Inkscape. Then click the path and do "Menubar/Path/Reverse", then export again as an svg, then open the svg in a text editor and copy the new reversed path coordinates, and paste them into your <path d="XXX"> on the webpage. AND NOW IT WORKS (after you correct the text start position...)
Hi Version, welcome to the forum - thats a very cool grey text choice
I like narrative games too! I played Life is Strange for the first time recently and found it very affecting. I hope you get back to site making, often its better to get something basic done in a day than trying to do the perfect thing and never finishing!
