hypothethially, if i were to make another indie web contest this year ... how should i do it? i think there'd be too many participants this time around to actually rate every single one, so the voting would need to look different.

for those of you with free neocities accounts (created after 2022) - are you able to use the pollcode widget? i thought it works for free accounts but maybe not!

*github page as an iframe, i can confirm it triggers the 'doesn't allow external scripts' issue :(

it used to work, but neocities updated to a stricter content security policy a year or so ago - it broke the WiiRing too, and I had to make an iframe version of it! here's more about it: https://dabric.xyz/post/neocities-csp/

@jeith thank you for the info! i'm still a bit confused because i have a 2nd (free) account to try these things out and it works for me over there.

hmm i know it only affects free accounts made after January 2024 (when the CSP was changed), so it could be when the account was made? otherwise it may be totally unrelated :P

@jeith yeah my 2nd account was created mid 2024 so it SHOULD be affected. maybe a bug. time to create a 3rd account for testing haha

I added new styling options for my widgets! (https://petrapixel.neocities.org/coding/widgets) Basically, all valid CSS is possible now! Make sure to clear cache for MY website if something's not working for you!

ooo that sounds nice, but I have an idea, what about supporting the postMessage API so people can define the CSS using a little JavaScript code, it should work in free Neocities sites, and the URL wouldn't be long on complex styles. Just my 2 cents though.

Oh, wow! Dragon Cave! I just started playing about 2 weeks ago (I found out about it from another Neocities site!) I'm currently collecting an army of Pink dragons and trading for random prize dragons!

more quizzes!! i tried the hobby one, its funny to get journaling when i actually DO that. real for physical journals being more aesthetic… you’re powerful for digital ones, i struggled to keep a digital journal for myself

wao these are all really good ones ... i'm biased to page optimization though since it feels (at least to me) that there's definitely ... a lack of them, or they feel too 'word techy'. even just img optimization would be really cool esp considering how images play a lot into decorations

i agree with @zhongvie! page optimization would be useful both for ppl who are just starting out and for seasoned webmasters too

These are really good, but I really wanna see a resource about page optimization. I feel like the indie web needs more optimization on site assets, lazy loading assets, or just probably converting images to a more efficient format like webp

Do it like how itch.io does gamejams! have ppl vote n then have u rate like top 100 or somethin >:O
I like seasoups idea and if you want to keep the personal touch of your ratings, maybe you could do a mixture of both. everyone can vote so you have a crowd favorite, and then you pick your top 10 and rate those only? something like a hybrid approach
oh!! is there any way to see what the past contests looked like?
@fraberry there's this page ! https://petrapixel.neocities.org/contest but the voting form does not exist anymore
