I wanted a visual effect on the main website navbar like reigen.moe's website but I'm not good enough at keyframes to do this so I'm switching to something I can do myself. It's more simple but better in some ways. I also intend to reopen the website at the end of the month and I will reopen everything on sub-section at à time. There's much more work to do than I expected but I will not give up.

The result is much simpler to maintain and much faster to edit and I deeply regret not using sadgrl's template "root" function earlier. I didn't knew what I know now and I would have saved SO MUCH TIME. But at least I know how to do it and I used this knowledge to update more stuff. So the website is going to run on very limited content for a while but the result will be worth it.

I had to downgrade some parts such as the bavardage spoiler alert that I asked to an AI because I'm bad at JS so I am currently deleting that and I'm using a CSS subistitute which is less fancier but it's human made. The timestamp script on bottom of the pages was also AI made but this was stupid from my end because it's available right here : https://updateyourfooter.com/ and now I switched to pure CSS too

The site will be 100% Ai-free when it will reopen, I'm sticking to pure HTML/CSS because I've learned a lot with these languages and I'm now confident enough to do more elaborated stuff compared to stuff I was doing in 2023. There's still a lot to rework but the final result will be something I can maintain and rework by myself.

Working seriously on my own HTML + CSS has allowed me to understand my rookie mistakes I made in 2023. But most importantly, I'm taking off Javascript that was explained by Mistral AI, so the revamped code will be 100% JS free and 100% AI free, all hand coded by myself with bits of errors, redudancy and mistakes. I clearly made a mistake and I'm fixing it now.

Because mistakes can be fixed, people can change. I don't like nor support AI, there's a lot of issues with this technology. I used it in late 2023 because I wasn't sure about myself and didn't looked around for libraries and stuff. JS isn't my cup of tea so I will stick to HTML and CSS only. I will try things by myself and if it doesn't work then I'll try in another way I can.

I believe that mistakes can be fixed and that we can learn from it. We can get better. We can improve. I do my best with this website because it's a very personal project and I will not give up. Not everything will be perfect because I'm not some kind of HTML/CSS god but I'm really improving by reviewing my own code and looking at lessons and tips online places such as W3School, Codepen.io, Flexbox Froggy and more.

The Club will probably reopen late January, after I'm done with most of the things I need to fix. That said, I wish everyone a good year 2026, drink water, stretch your back and be happy. Life is short, do not make it a speedrun. Take care of yourselves <3
new year and I forgot to thank you for following me (looking forward to your new Matchaprika Club!)

No problem ! It will not change heavily on the outside it's mostly a change of code, essentially CSS rewriting and HTML cleaning. I'm getting rid of Javascript entirely. I think it should be okay around February/March but I will probably reopen sooner once I'm done with the comic-book reviews !
