Thanks for the follow! Your page gives elegant yet cozy vibes. Also, holy crap thanks for reminding me of Lissa Explains It All! You just unlocked a core memory.

Thanks for the follow! I'm very thankful to see there's a workaround to the PHCode AI bullshit but at the same time don't want to give them the joy of them seeing that I'm downloading the install again. Also, your mixtape collection is so cool! Love the art and the care put into physical media. That page gives me the yearning to finally put the Mix CDs I've done up on my page as well.

Aaaand I scrolled down on your page after viewing your site and see the workaround doesn't work. Well, fuck PHCode anyways.

Of course!! You've got some WICKEDDDD stuff happening on your site, I had a lot of fun exploring it!!! Thank you for following back, too!!! I actually updated the mixed tapes page not all that long ago haha You should make one for your CDs, it's cool seeing how other people approach making/designing them UGH yeah GOD I'm so pissed about phcode that I actually submitted feedback to them about it. Not hopeful though

Just passing by, I'd never heard of PHCode, just checking it out now. I've been using VSCode. (Aside from annoying AI features) is it a decent web dev editor?

solradguy's avatar solradguy 5 days ago

PHCode has a built-in live preview of your code that updates while you work (instead of when you hit save/refresh) and it's SUPER convenient. Other than that, VSCode/Codium are basically the same thing but better in most ways. I like it but I have a hard time recommending it after the AI update, on top of the other bugs/performance issues PHCode has

Ah thanks for explaining :) I believe there is a Live Preview plugin for VSCode that will auto reload the webpage each time you save too. You may be able to recreate the experience through that..

I'm on VSCodium and use the live preview and I do like it a lot. I think there is some ease of use that it is missing compared to PH Code. Namely, the ability to on-the-foy select a major browser to preview in, which requires some extra steps in VSCodium unless I'm missing something. Still, VSCodium not being laden with AI means I'll take any inconvenience preferentially.

Ah yes, VSCodium is an even better choice. It's what I use too :)

Late, but thanks for the follow! The Crypt is giving the perfect vibe of back when I used to loiter at Hot Topic in the mall. And then I found the MySpace with NIN's Only and it REALLY brought me back. Cheers!

Oh hell yeah. Loving the Cyberpunk/MDE flavor.

There's nothing quite like going back to update some out-of-date code on a page, staring at said code and going "wait what the fuck am I even looking at"

forgot to comment when I first followed but your site is seriously one of the most unique and truly innovative sites I've ever seen. Can't believe you don't do web design professionally, this shit is insane!!

Thank you! I am truly honored you believe this. I am quite honestly making it up and figuring it out as I go so it's cool to see that's not just me bonking my head on a desk for no reason :)

Today I learned about localStorage. So now I have the need to have theme selections on each page saved. Also persistent volume controls. Also also this would be a great way to keep track of which pages people have found hidden audios on, which I could then use to have a page with a master playlist of everything with like a progress tracker or something. Fuck, why am I giving myself another project

I’ve actually made it a core philosophy of my site to rely heavily on localStorage (and something called OPFS for larger files) while completely banning cookies. We’ve been conditioned to view data storage as an inherently malicious, tracking-heavy thing, but using local, client-side storage is quite the opposite. It's respectful. The data stays on their machine, under their control, purely to enhance the experience.

Updates: - index.html should now remember if you have found the hidden track, volume settings, and which theme you have selected for the page. - audio.html should now remember volume settings if you've found the hidden track.

Your site actually inspired the idea! I didn't like the look of a blurry button, and realised later on that it has the unintended side effect of allowing for infinite colour variations
