github is decent, I think. the only issue (that I've had) is that it doesn't support server side scripts so php. and then I saw this really cool one called poyoweb but it only has 500mbs of space- I'm also not sure what the interface is like!

oh-- and poyoweb is also static hosting ;-;

Aw dang... I guess I would have to either host the mySQL and PHP stuff outside, which doesn't seem ideal. I still hope to find one that supports dynamic pages, cause convenience of administering everything in the same place. I'll have to wait and see

netlify if you want high uptime. They have bandwidth limits, as well, however. I would highly recommend optimizing all the images on your website, as well, which will help minimize bandwidth usage. I use ImageMagick, but there are online tools like ezgif.com that do the same thing.

Optimization and compression sound scary in theory, but in reality most people (yourself included) probably won't notice the difference between an uncompressed .PNG and a 20-30% compressed .jpeg (unless you need transparency, in that case you can optimize .pngs using ImageMagick and EZGif (https://ezgif.com/)

github repo + Cloudflare Pages is a solid free hosting system! I use it, and it also has support for dynamic pages, which do have usage limits, but it's based on execution time. so you're unlikely to run into anything until you experience a truly gigantic popularity explosion! only thing is that the dynamic stuff ("cloudflare functions") are proprietary and a little weird to get used to. they are in JS though!

cloudflare pages is truly free as far as I can tell, I've been using it for corru.observer for a bit to great effect

Thank you all for the suggestions! I'll contemplate over em and see what I can go for <3

Oh my, this means a whole lot, thank you!! :'DD The enter page was so painful to make, but it's the one I'm proudest of so far! I still need to do some adjustments, but it'll be worth it. Also yee, I always wanted my own little blog space! Planning out the notebook square was a very fun idea ^^ And can say there's a lot to look forward to for sure! It'll be lots of fun!

I think the work was well worth it, IMHO. The color palette is STUNNING, and the tree is so beautifully illustrated.

AYY THANK YOU!! I'm super glad you think so, eee- I've been planning a lot of fun stuff, so you can look forward to a lot of goodness. I also wanted the site to be very silly, and I'm happy people enjoy that silliness too x]

If you're looking for more, I have a .gif archive :) it's at https://slugsludge.xyz

@saltedslug Ooo, I just checked it- I found some great ones already, thank you so much! <3 Nice additions to my curation-

there's a collective unconscious webring here https://rh0mbus0fruin.neocities.org/CollectiveUnconscious although my request to join a couple months ago hasn't been answered so might be closed

@spuds Ohh, that actually sounds so cool... I've been brainrotting over the game recently, so it would be perfect. Quite the shame the user hasn't been as active checking the submissions

I'll be moving the webrings too... hopefully also getting into some cool ones I remember seeing. I still have a crap ton of work to do... but I'm proud. I'm satisfied of what I got.

And yet again... thank you all so much for all the help, all support and enjoyment of my work. There was a time when I got really close to scrapping all of it. I'm technically redoing my site, but with a brand new mindset.

omg i'm so excited!!!

Yayy, I'm glad! ^^ It's gonna be a progressive overhaul of the site. For now, I'll grace you folks with a brand new enter page, homepage, and sometime after the domain transition, the new about! I've been also collecting some fun graphics for an improved graphics page

looking forward to it ^^

@catboo it's now on! You folks can check it out-

apngs ? (animated pngs)

I did check APNGS, I'm going to use one as fallback! I chose to use WebM for the main PC version

Had to go through a bunch of headaches, but I finally figured it out in some way :'] Thank you all for the help too!

movs (quicktime) support transparency, but I don't know if that transparency carries through in a element.

@omnipresence I tried using mov files, but they didn't work super well- they were glitchy, and the transparency didn't work out super well. I ended up using WebM with a transparency codec and FFmpeg's help
