i have now shifted hosts to vercel and changed my domain to milk-tea.email ^^! i will still be editing the index and making major update posts here because i love the community (and my dear mutuals) + not have milk-tea.neocities.org automatically redirect to .email (and instead have the enter button take you to the main site so links dont break)

genuinely sucked having to put up with the external source restrictions as someone that made an account in 2024, and i kinda didnt wanna give kyle any money for the barest minimum

it just hit me that your site name is a Coil reference while listening to the ape of naples today. fuck yeah!

Yes! When I wanted to try out making a site, I didn't come up with a name yet, but already wanted to host it to check out how neocities works. And I picked this line as a temporary name, intending to swap it for something shorter, because this is kinda ridiculously long for a website URL

Somehow, it stuck, but it works well. The name sounds nice and evokes an interesting image. And people who like Coil instantly recognize the line

I also probably picked it at the time when I was under the impression that studying math will make me see the world differently and open up some new hidden knowledge about it (never happened)

love this...sometimes whims do have a way of cementing themselves into lasting miracles and personally i agree with you on it being an evocative and mystifying phrase...def makes anybody that reads it to want to visit! (i feel the same way about physics lol)

outside of how quaint your entire site's aesthetic is (adore it !!!) i want to say its so beautiful just how dedicated you are to keeping it non-anglocentric...and i cant help but wish i could've done this with bengali ´ _`) ... i have spanish on my language learning to-do folio anyway so looking forward to make my way through a treasure trove of it in such exquisite packaging @ that..!

THANKU SO MUCH What a lovely comment, you've made me so happy :,) I wish you the best of luck learning Spanish, and I hope you feel inspired to create more content in your native language. Exploring your website is truly a unique experience, I love it! I really love your scrapbook, I loved reading and exploring it, it motivated me to try making one too. My other favorite part was the layout of your shrines section~

been playing a lot of zzz lately and i had this late night epiphany to redo my entire layout similar to its UI like a week back....i drafted it and everything but i dont feel like parting with my current one 😭 the chaos and the popping colors..all of it is exactly what the inside of my brain is like!

my issue is going for a refined, more polished layout that has evolved with my sense of design would mean compromising the amateurish charm + indie web nostalgia that comes with it and im too attached to my site feeling that way......

i truly am the last person you should’ve asked this because every piece of js on my site has been obtained through thievery or bruteforcing already existing thieved code to fit my uses 😭 but w3school did help me out whenever i was in a pinch starting out!
honestly i think youtube tutorials are really good, the w3schools tutorial confused the heck out of me so i turned to youtube. the tutorials are like 20+ hours long though sob
@sweet-pea the youtube videos were so formal they lowk scared the living hell out of me, i guess seeing actual js code in work while matching it up with w3school articles is the workflow that worked best for me
i write almost all my js by hand !!!! i knew general coding before tho and that helped.... try to search for guides that rlly has THE BASICS. Also w3schools actually isnt THAT bad!!! but a lot of js learning is like. Figuring out 1 feature you need, googling "how to make [x] js" and trying to understand it. And then repeat it x500 times ig
