Neocities

Heyo. For anybody who pays for Neocities Supporter, is it worth it? Why do you pay for it? Why pay for it instead of using a different host?

I used to pay for it for the domain name and multiple sites. It was okay for the price, but I moved because you can get more for the same amount. I'm paying maybe $3 a month now and getting PHP, SQL, and a domain name for that much. So not the target audience, but moving was worth it for me.

Heads up. I know there's some followers of mine who are teenagers, but I am thinking about publishing "mature" artwork some day. Nothing actually "adult," though. In addition, this will be disabled by default, and I don't think I'll actually publish something mature for awhile. But if you are following me, I do think it is something you should keep in mind. I know some folks don't like art like that.

I've already added some settings to enable this, and warning the user that they must be an adult and what kind of art to expect.

Going to be moving to YoungsDit.ch, (youngsditch.neocities.org) I'm keeping this domain but I want it to be more professional / I want to feel comfortable leaning into it being a personal site.

Lately, I've been thinking about creating tutorials related to web development. If I do make them, what kind tutorials would you like to see or be helpful to you?

Like you mentioned before in my own thread, tutorials releating to sveltekit would be incredibly useful. I think basic JS tutorials would also be very nice, as a lot of tutorials i've found have been difficult to follow for me personally.

Thank you, Solinus! I do want to make my own buttons one day, but I do appreciate what you made and what you're gonna do for webites lacking buttons. Among other stuff, I'm working on setting up a blog (again) and a blog post, and when I finish that, I'll also add and publish the button to my website and of course giving you credit!

Hey, is there a way to tell Neocities to sort of "reset everything" every time I upload my website? Old pages I don't link anymore still appear unless I manually delete them.

All I can think is telling the CLI to use the delete option on everything (./*), though I don't know if that would work recursively. And then uploading it all again. Not the best, but might work.

Doesn't work unfortunately. It sucks that there's no tool on Neocities that allows you to make automated cleanups. :-/

Hey. I can't help but think about maybe considering moving to a self-hosted VPS. I know users like Owlroost as done this already, but would you guys do something like this too?

Technically I'm not on a VPS or self-hosting. That's a lot more work security and maintenance-wise. I'm on a paid webhost instead that does a good job of setting up the necessary services for me (web server, firewall, etc.) that also gives me a bit of control over the behavior of Apache for my site.

Plus you pay for what you use on my host, which is nice. Cheaper than Neocities supporter for more features if you've got one site (if you make a ton of sites, you may want a host that doesn't charge for resources per site). I'm on NearlyFreeSpeech, for reference.

Hey, do any of you guys try to make your website work without JavaScript enabled?

2 likes

owlroost 5 months ago

As much as possible, yes. The alt color schemes are the only thing that needs it, and I have light/dark CSS to fall back on the user's device preference if JS is disabled. Any pages that need a color scheme can be reached with the URL/sitemap alone as well, and any JS-formatted bits will still show something without JS.

That "Hello World" project you did is badass! Though, it is a bit robotic. I can tell where the keyframes start and end, it's not 100% smooth.

Bros, have any of you guys used a tool called SASS to write your CSS? I just used it to tidy up the CSS of my index page and I'm already impressed. So many duplicated lines and code begone!

Hey, how do you guys format dates on your websites? In the code, I use ISO 8601, but when a date is dipslayed, it uses DMY as it's the most common format from what I can tell. Should I change this everywhere so it's consistent? What date formats would you use?

Hey, you know how Neocities has limited file types, and only allows you to upload any file if you are a supporter? Does anyone know what happens if you uploaded a "blacklisted" file, but then stopped paying one day?

pretty sure it just stays on your account, you just can't upload new blacklisted files

You can't even overwrite existing files if it's blacklisted?

No overwriting as far as I'm aware, no.

Hey. I'm just wondering and (over)thinking again. Do/Would you guys publicly host the source code of your website in a repository somewhere like GitHub or sr.ht? Why or why not? I personally I don't want to do it right now because of all the borrowed images I used, and the code I wrote needs to be cleaned up, but I have a feeling it could benefit somebody, somewhere if I fixed both of those issues.
