Incredible!! I love how clearly you can see the piñata texture in this one. One of my favorite details.

just thought youd like to know that the theme switcher is not keyboard accessible ^^; looks like its a link element, making it a button element should work ^^

i usually dont nit pick stuff like that on ppls sites, but since this site is deticated to accessibility, i figured youd want to know

it's not nitpicky at all! I obviously want my site to be usable to keyboard users if it's gonna be of any use to keyboard users in the first place.

Optional pink mode is now on the settings page. If you're a fan of pink, then you can view the Roost in your favorite color!

On a related note, the code for custom themes is cleaned up enough that I can make more themes without much difficulty. Planning to make the buttons a drop-down and then see about automating theme additions.

I agree. And it made me think an extra time why I'm one of those small web-fellas that just go "fuck your phone, this is made for a pc". Am I going to make a responsive version of my site because of this perspective changer? Quite possibly.

that "don't be a phone chump, get a computer" 88x31 is so funny like i love the implication that A) if one is using a phone to view a website it means they must not already have a computer and 2. if one does not already have a computer it's because it simply never occurred to them that having one might be handy and not because they cost more money and aren't as portable as a phone

it's funny but also like stop. it's dumb and more importantly ignorant of disability and class status.

speaking as someone who did not have the money in my bank account to simply go out and buy a computer and relied on my phone for a while it was really annoying and it sucked. like I was aware that having a computer would have made things easier.

i get that these buttons are like snarky and cute but you're not saying anything groundbreaking you're just being kind of obnoxious and telling poor/disabled people they don't deserve to use your website if they can't get on a computer.

Not to mention like even if someone had both which device are they more likely to be on: the one they keep with them all the time everyday in their pocket or the one that’s usually an at home/at work device (at least in my case). Like I have both but especially after long days or days when migraines flare up I ain’t running over to use my laptop, I’m viewing everything on my phone more times than not. That shit sucks

I had it on my site and I always saw it as talking about using a computer over a phone when the options are presented to you. Saying, "Hey maybe get on your PC and get on Neo instead of scrolling social media on your phone in bed" (and yes being snarky since I too, scroll social media on my phone in bed like anyone else). I never saw it this way, but now that I have, I removed it from my site.

davemiller wonder if a "stop doomscrolling" button conveys that better. dunno if one already exists tho

Is the text in the Eye Scream section actually shaking or is that just my retinas being eroded

@skep, I did add a very small shake to it to convey the retina-eroding feeling, so good to hear that it works!

Really is a handy selector! Only issue I've noticed so far is that it messes with my usual way of doing back to top links, but I found a fix that works (per-section links as opposed to a single global one).

to expand on what I said last night, I haven't really been checking up on my neocities feed lately so RSS feed updates are really useful, since they just pop up as a notification in my browser. I know I'm missing so much and it sucks 😭 make an RSS feed. please.

I <3 RSS FEEDS! I got an RSS reader a few months ago and have been loving it. So many more things have RSS feeds than you'd think. And yet not enough!!!

Ever since adding an RSS feed button I'm now noticing them everywhere ... Like on tags for Archive of Our Own 😆
