the portfolio page has gotten a little tricky to navigate and overbearing, so i would like to work on that too. perhaps i could learn how to do a grid with thumbnails and clicking on one brings that art up above

i like 2b more i thinks... the varying width in 2a feels somwheat like a lil glitch artifact. (but that may also be cool)

@dabric yeah the variation in the line width in 2a is pretty much intentional. i kinda still like the 2b ver but the slower, less strobe-y frame rate might be better with the 2a ver

2a feels like its moving around a lot more, while 2b feels a lot more stable. personally i prefer 2b, but i think it depends on the larger page

i should at least consider getting some sort of domain name if only because infinitehouse[dot]encountersltd[dot]suffix is more concise and looks more nice than encounters-ltd.neocities.org/infinitehouse

is domain linking not a supporter-only feature? cause if it is, meaning you're becoming a supporter, then you can spawn many neocities sites - then just make a second site for the label and then go from infinitehouse.neocities.org to infinitehouse.net (available rn) or something

@astrossoundhell i kinda forgot that was possible with supporter! i still like the idea of potentially having it be a subdomain though, i was inspired by the old eerik inpuj sound site having a bunch of subdomain sites hosted
the main sticking point is the age-old issue of the actual "next/previous site" ring functionality being prone to breaking due to a site being deleted or having its association removed and i'm unsure how i could efficiently handle that
make a new site for the webring, have the next/prev buttons redirect to it with the referrer site's name as a get parameter, have the code you own decide where to redirect. once a month scan your linked list for broken sites and then remove them from the chain if needed.
@astrossoundhell oooooo that sounds smart
