I know the Wordpress migration experience myself, the first version of my site was ALSO there, but I ended up relearning HTML and migrating to Neocities after getting fed up with Wordpress's editor. My site started to actually feel like my own after doing that, as opposed to just feeling like a Wordpress product.

I just read your post and it's pretty good. I still use wordpress but only for my blog section and even if you're making your own theme like i do, it's pretty restrictive indeed. And about the comments i agree it would be better to not need accounts... I'm planning on adding my own comment system to my microblog but I'm scared of spamming and people trying to take down my database for no reason :')

So I'm adding a sign up feature, but I won't be saving qny other personal data aside from email and a chosen username. I will also be making other features, maybe for saving your progress on games, points and whatever related to the website. Whats your opinion on this, pixelglade?

@overclockworked yes, I always had the feeling that the Wordpress blog wasn't really mine either so getting started on Neocities was exactly what I needed

@kuroi, so atm my comment system doesn't use a database, comments get sent to an email address and I manually upload. If you have a database of your own you will want to make sure you protect against script attacks that can interfere with your database. Even though my system is email based some of the spam I get is malicious SQL code so you'd want to be extra careful.

@kuroi I think using a database to keep track of game progress and theme settinga etc is a valid use of cookies or saving browser data. Personally I understand the reason for collecting emails on comments in case they want to delete their account later and extra protection against spam, but I personally prefer a system where that information isn't necessary or you have the option to comment anonymously.

The caveat of the email approach is it's not good if you get a lot of comments. I would probably need to make a database to handle comments further down the line. I also know that Wordpress (I think?) ties into the OAuthentication thing which is a neat idea n terms of making comments federated.

I did think of allowing anon comments, like i do with the likes on my microblog, but there's always that fear of ill intentioned people abusing that system xD but now that i think about it maybe i could limit the comments of anon user to a certain amount per day 🤔 then choose to sign up if they like. While i was coding the sign up process i kept thinking how boring it is having to sign up and do all the steps xD

I think rate limiting anonymous comments could backfire on someone wanting to post anonymously in case they were constantly blocked because spammers decided to comment anonymously that day. I haven't tried it myself but you could include some additional checks like a moderation queue or flagging comments with URLs in them to make it easier. I notice spam mostly comes in groups with the name input changing occasionall

Since I added a spam label to the form submission emails when they include a URL it's been quicker to find legitimate comments among the spam. Also, unfortuanetley I noticed some spam bots using my likes form (on thr homepage)which a little annoying.

The update should work now with your extension (in multiple browsers)! As for notifying the devs: they'll probably just view it as this is expected behavior when the DOM is rapidly mutating which is what was happening. The silver lining here is I got to work with a neat extension that I actually find somewhat useful!

"Not sure if I have an add on that's interfering but I noticed when typing in the password, the keyboard will deactivate after each key stroke so I basically have to click into the input box after each character entry." This is not good! What browser are you using? Could you try disabling your add-on and letting me know if it's still happening?

win1999 2 weeks ago

And does this happen inside the OS, say Bug Submission, Notepad or WinChat?

pixelglade 2 weeks ago

I figured it out. It was the Dark Reader add on which was causing it - very strange! This is in Waterfox. I tried Firefox without the add on installed and it doesn't do it, but then as soon as I activate dark mode with Dark Reader installed, broken. But light mode is fine. I've never had Dark Reader interfere with form inputs before so this is kind of interesting to me. Any ideas what the cause is?

pixelglade 2 weeks ago

Also I tried turning it on once I was in Notepad and the problem doesn't happen. It only seems to be the log in form. Haven't tried other programs.

win1999 2 weeks ago

Hmm. Yeah, there's a cocktail of things in the code on the login screen. I'll investigate further...

You're welcome! I'd be interested to know what the code conflict is if it's something you can share (and figure out), in case it's something that needs to be reported to the person who manages the add-on.

win1999 2 weeks ago

Ok, figured it out: Dark Reader modifies CSS after each keystroke, causing the browser to lose focus on the password field during the style update. I implemented a fix that uses requestAnimationFrame() to automatically refocus the input after Preact re-renders and Dark Reader finishes its work. added onBlur handler catches unwanted focus loss and refocuses immediately, plus a few other things

Has the update been applied yet? I'm still getting the same problem when dark mode is on (even after a hard refresh).
