learning how to customize tabindex navigation for people with motor disabilities, but the chatbox iframe seems inescapable :S

iframes are hell in general. i wish you luck soldier (would setting the iframe's tabindex to -1 also get all the content inside of the iframe out of the tabindex? it would disable the chat accessibility wise but it might clear up the tabindex)

With the new changelog.html in place the last page needing a mandatory touch-up is sources.html and I'm considering breaking that up into two different pages

Hey, just wanted to say your CSS Buttons are totally insane. I'm a little sad as I really wanted to display one on my site, but unfortunately it breaks my button ribbon. I'm working on a way to figure that out. Just thought I'd let you know so you don't feel left out- you definitely deserve a spot :)

Hey thank you! It needs some more attention for sure. I'm thinking of just making it monophonic because I've had a lot of issues with the polyphony. One day I plan to completely redo its UI to be all custom art components.

Thanks for following. I was having trouble navigating on your site so opened the page source and mostly got pages and pages of ASCII art which was much more horrifying reading in source, it felt like it was coming out of the code at me. So that was an impressive bit of techno horror. But the reason I was looking is I couldn't exactly pinpoint how your navigation bar works. It looks like labels not links (a href) tags

You wrote you're still learning CSS but it looks like you've done a lot with CSS selectors and filters, so I wondered why you chose to use hidden radio buttons for navigation links instead, unless you're just continuing the techno horror glitch aesthetic... well, it's working in that sense... but it makes it really difficult to navigate

Hi, thank you for your message! I wanted to make a page just to practice/learn better CSS. I read about checkbox and radio inputs and decided to make it a single page instead of using iframes (just because it's more complicated to do it, and it sounded cool to have the whole site in a single file), but I don't really have much to put on it (I didn't want to repeat my other sites)

pxhc 5 months ago

so navigation is really just Notes, Links and the optional color switches (my original design), the rest is stuff I added later to play around and I consider more as "exploration", like click around you may find more color options, reveal hidden text, or display other ASCII art, I wanted them hidden, like someone got curious about the flashing text or blinking stars and clicked on it and discovered what it reveals

a bunch of silly little secrets and easteregg hunts hehe, I really liked your "techno horror glitch aesthetic" description!

ah, about how it works, the stuff on the main section and the sidebar are all there but with display none, the radio buttons change it to display flex, and the stars have opacity 0 and the radio buttons play an animation that changes their opacity for a few secs, so all the elements are there on the page the whole time, they are just not visible

Thanks for explaining! I didn't even think to check the URL bar, so yeah I can see now it's all on one page.

Also, keyboards.html is definitely not mobile-friendly yet. Probably a supplementary update later today.

I just cut all the content that would be too troublesome to adapt and inserted a note that the site is incomplete on mobile :P (but as I was going to add the dyslexia assist mode to mobile, I decided to also add the three main color switches)

Thanks for the follow! The aesthetic of your site being made almost entirely through ASCII art is super cool, and the whole mechanic of the hidden text really adds a lot to the meanings of your notes. Awesome work!

if you figured out how to unlock it (on my site), how annoying is the chromatic aberration for readability?

is it the same thing that triggers the 'you are the first here' etc. messages? (it's very cool btw!!) it doesn't affect readability at all for me
