the fact that i figured out how to make a custom thumbnail on neocities so my homepage shows up correctly is more showing that my homepage shouldnt just be an entire 3d scene

pinkvampyr its kinda hacky, but you detect the user agent for headless chrome and just overlay an image. heres my script if you want it: https://dabric.neocities.org/custom-banner.js

Hey Frills, thanks for the follow! Your site is a sight (ha) for sore eyes, and I really like your accessibility pages (the link to the article Web accessibility: People or profit? rings true).

Heya! No worries. I am here for everything your site stands for. That article resonates right? Particularly the bit about 'Accessibility advocates often feel that they must present their case for accessibility with a capitalistic flair.' is sad but true

For sure, almost every accessibility lecture etc I've watched has to frame it in terms of Accessibility will improve your bottom line because it will increase traffic to your site which equals more money.

Just use the library so much that it's worth having there to begin with! Svelte is there so you don't reinvent the wheel, so make it a supercar!

dabric 3 years ago

kallistero very true, but thats also ironically the issue. i just have a lot of code that i wrote lol. maybe im just overthinking tho, but also like 165kb transferred of html, css, and js...

kallistero 3 years ago

That's smaller than a background image! If my page is being slow, it's because I let users just stuff one of my pages with lots of JavaScript effects. The devil's how much it takes to RUN the code as much as it's in how much it takes to load it. In F12, there's a "Memory" tab where you can see the JS heap size, and there's also a "Performance" tab where you can take a snapshot of where the page is putting resources.

oh pal i totally modified your dark mode toggle js *today* :D hope you dont mind - credited you in the js file. I tried writing a function for it myself a few weeks ago but 100% over complicated it

never really got the point of entrance pages, like why not just have the page linked be your homepage? genuine question btw

AYO WHAT IS WRONG WITH THOUGHTS.HTML???

1 like

punkwasp 3 years ago

I think thoughts.html is just displaying nunjucks code (commonly used with the Eleventy static site generator) (also this is in response to lime360)

fri11s 3 years ago

lol i just added it to git versioning. it's the template I copy paste into thoughts.pages. considered hiding it from eleventy but didn't have time and GitHub actions were degraded so I couldn't test quickly 😛

I'm not sure what thoughts.pages is built on. The templating syntax for liquid and nunjucks are very similar. thoughts.pages isn't an SSG though

when exporting your neocities analytics to .csv, it comes with a curious bandwidth coloumn. after some testing its indeed in bytes, but now im wondering why neocities doesnt afaik show your monthly bandwidth usage in a nice spot considering its a limit you have to look out for?

dabric 3 years ago

this also gives a bit of insight into how hits and views work. yesterday i had 1003 hits and 333 visits, but my bandwidth usage was only 10mb. thats only enough for ~10 people to view my website's homepage with javascript on. thus, my view count must be getting inflated by someone hotlinking something on my website (i assume its navlink)
