does anyone who prefers/relies on light mode struggle to read the content on my website? are some pages worse than others?
thinking of retiring the art page for the time being. it doesn't really fit with what i want the site to be and the code is kinda messy

I WISH I'd never had to use a table in HTML... D: (though at least I had to use it for an actual table)

Also started to process the Atom feed manually instead of using a plugin for it

added some subtle CSS animations to the decorations on the esoterrarium index! like the decoration on the landing page, they won't animate if you have reduced motion settings enabled

oh yeah just so you know: if the site updates less frequently than usual this month it's because i'm trying to focus on art fight (spending five minutes a day drawing attacks and the rest of the day procrastinating)

There are still a few that aren't, but not many people know about them. Konquerer, Lynx, WebBrowser (fork of Pale Moon), Bad Wolf...

it got merged with the last update post but i added alt text to every non-decorative image that didn't already have it. normally that's not something i would push by itself but i just wanted to fix the site preview image

i have a solid guess at why it happened. i use the CLI to upload the site after Jekyll generates it; when i uploaded it yesterday i had reorganised the assets folder which included moving the stylesheet every page uses. my internet cut out while i was uploading so the HTML files (which were now asking for a stylesheet in a different place) got uploaded but the moved stylesheet didn't

which resulted in them referencing a stylesheet that doesn't exist and reverting to default styling. running the upload command again didn't fix this because index.html was already uploaded and i hadn't changed it before running it again, so this time i made a change that required every page to be regenerated

ok well it's not gonna be about AI but rather the discourse surrounding it. and hopefully putting my opinion out there Once And For All so i never have to think about it again

I prefer light mode. It's difficult for me to read text cast against the checkered background- I usually read at the bottom of the page where it's the solid color background. The contrast is great against the solid color. The purple pages are easiest to read. The green/teal ones are so-so on checks but the easiest by far against the solid color- the green on blue makes it pretty easy.
Orange pages are extremely hard to read against the checkered background (lacks contrast w/light orange squares) but fine against the solid color.
Article reader mode works great on pages that have it available, by the way- just checked while I was at it. If I remember right, article reader mode requires article tags and p tags with a certain word or character count to work/show up.
thank you for your insight! i've been wanting to add a light mode to the site for a long time but i was struggling to think of a way to go about it, your comment about the checkerboard is actually really helpful
There is a media check for light mode! @media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: light) {} should allow you to set colors for folks set to light mode. I use a dark mode check and CSS variables to set the color scheme for my own site.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme
the media check is a good idea but i might have to combine it with an in-browser toggle because i don't like that "prefers light mode" and "no preference" get lumped together lol
Yeah, always did think that was weird. You can make dark mode the no preference default if you structure things right though.
