Neocities.org
the fact that i figured out how to make a custom thumbnail on neocities so my homepage shows up correctly is more showing that my homepage shouldnt just be an entire 3d scene

idea: something like rss but you embed it in your html so its easy to manage

Just use the library so much that it's worth having there to begin with! Svelte is there so you don't reinvent the wheel, so make it a supercar!

kallistero very true, but thats also ironically the issue. i just have a lot of code that i wrote lol. maybe im just overthinking tho, but also like 165kb transferred of html, css, and js...

That's smaller than a background image! If my page is being slow, it's because I let users just stuff one of my pages with lots of JavaScript effects. The devil's how much it takes to RUN the code as much as it's in how much it takes to load it. In F12, there's a "Memory" tab where you can see the JS heap size, and there's also a "Performance" tab where you can take a snapshot of where the page is putting resources.

never really got the point of entrance pages, like why not just have the page linked be your homepage? genuine question btw

i actually think it's trying to imitate something like the cover of a book that you open to see what's inside

when exporting your neocities analytics to .csv, it comes with a curious bandwidth coloumn. after some testing its indeed in bytes, but now im wondering why neocities doesnt afaik show your monthly bandwidth usage in a nice spot considering its a limit you have to look out for?

this also gives a bit of insight into how hits and views work. yesterday i had 1003 hits and 333 visits, but my bandwidth usage was only 10mb. thats only enough for ~10 people to view my website's homepage with javascript on. thus, my view count must be getting inflated by someone hotlinking something on my website (i assume its navlink)

feeling burnt out. UGHHH I HATE IT. but i also want to learn monorepos (they seem cool) and finally get a proper ui library going along with that where its not components scattered across scss and svelte files...

wait how do you do it :000
pinkvampyr its kinda hacky, but you detect the user agent for headless chrome and just overlay an image. heres my script if you want it: https://dabric.neocities.org/custom-banner.js
