Bros, have any of you guys used a tool called SASS to write your CSS? I just used it to tidy up the CSS of my index page and I'm already impressed. So many duplicated lines and code begone!

Hey, how do you guys format dates on your websites? In the code, I use ISO 8601, but when a date is dipslayed, it uses DMY as it's the most common format from what I can tell. Should I change this everywhere so it's consistent? What date formats would you use?

Hey, you know how Neocities has limited file types, and only allows you to upload any file if you are a supporter? Does anyone know what happens if you uploaded a "blacklisted" file, but then stopped paying one day?

pretty sure it just stays on your account, you just can't upload new blacklisted files

Hey. I'm just wondering and (over)thinking again. Do/Would you guys publicly host the source code of your website in a repository somewhere like GitHub or sr.ht? Why or why not? I personally I don't want to do it right now because of all the borrowed images I used, and the code I wrote needs to be cleaned up, but I have a feeling it could benefit somebody, somewhere if I fixed both of those issues.

Hey. If you guys were applying for a job, would you use your website as a portfolio? I want to try and disassociate "k-cottonears" from my future professional portfolio, but I want to be involved in multiple creative projects, and I realize doing this is going to be difficult and a shoot in the foot. But, I also want to make content that may be M-rated, and I feel like is a different bullet. I'm unsure what to do.

I wanted to originally have a separate portfolio website on sr.ht sites, to have things more abstracted, but its still probably going to be linkable back to me. Alternatively, I was thinking of having separate identities for these two sites, which again, may limit what I can show to potential employers.

I personally wouldn't because some of what's on my site isn't something I'd want an employer to see at all, but that's me. I'll be making a separate professional portfolio under a different name if I ever need one, personally. You could also try hiding the content on the current site, but that depends on whether you expect something like curl or wget to be used to get the source for the site.
