happy website birthday !! 1 year is a huge milestone, and i've loved following its development! <3
for css caching? i have been renaming my css file every time i update it 👽💧 whether or not this actually works is a mystery
there's also adding the version (?v=123) in front of your css name and changing it everytime you update it like
neocities doesnt let me post html text lol, i meant in your css tag, it would look like href="style.css?v=12345678"
oof right, i thought you meant the meta tag, the one that goes meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache", i've never tested this one but maybe that could work for you
i think you're already doing the best solution... even professional website frameworks will do something similar and automatically rename files to get around the cache
also, meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" isn't in HTML 5 anymore, so I would take care using it!
@dabric yes i found that info too. damn. but i'm currently looking into using a service worker for cachebusting, i'll try it out and if it works i will make a tutorial :]
if you don't wanna use the CSS cache and no queries, do a hard reload on your site (command/ctrl+shift+r on chrome, search for other browsers) removes all cache backup if the site is supposed to be changed but is not doing it because of cache backups
@underwhite yes i know about that one! i'm looking for a solution that also fixes it for my visitors
Just sent support an email about this bc using the .htaccess doesn't seem to be an option on Neocities -- Let's see if I'll hear back!
@petrapixel you can encourage your visitors to do a hard reload on your index page if that's supposed to be changed
small changes, and a revamp of my "my setup" page (which became "my VSCode setup") - check it out for extension and theme recs.
also, voting for the indie web contest will close in 10 DAYS ! -> https://petrapixel.neocities.org/contest
Check out the new poll in my sidebar :3 Other than that, just changes/improvements to beginner guides.
ALSO, If you're reading this and haven't voted in the Indie Web Contest yet, you should ! :D https://petrapixel.neocities.org/contest
Layout Generator was updated! (You might have to hard refresh.) New look, new features (custom fonts, preview zoom), and other improvements and bugfixes. But it didn't change that much, even though it took me two whole days :')
Also updated some of the beginner coding guides (like cheatsheet, faq, bookmarks etc) because I will help my sister (who has never coded before) create a website this weekend !! YAY
I now have a (work in progress) manifesto, and I moved the coding bookmarks to their own page (and expanded them). I've got lots of plans for next week !!
Also reminder to vote on the indie web contest ! https://petrapixel.neocities.org/contest We don't have as many votes as participants yet !
Hey there! I actually wanted to but I don't have Safari ! Maybe you can try what this guide says: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/clear-safari-cache/ Let me know if it works, then I will add it to my faq :)
@petrapixel if you have an iphone, that is pre-installed
