ooh, i missed the first one but ill be sure to join this. as for the too many people thing you mentioned last time, the only thing ive managed to come up with is splitting contestants into categories? though idk any details past that, sorry!

@tofutush yes, categories would be awesome, to go through 60+ websites and give everyone honest points required making spreadsheets to not get lost, categories could help organize it a bit ;)

@lankarta-project this time around, since winners are calculated using average points again, i will not make it a requirement to rate every single website because it would simply be impossible. instead, a random 10-20 or so will be chosen and the rest is optional!

hypothethially, if i were to make another indie web contest this year ... how should i do it? i think there'd be too many participants this time around to actually rate every single one, so the voting would need to look different.

I like seasoups idea and if you want to keep the personal touch of your ratings, maybe you could do a mixture of both. everyone can vote so you have a crowd favorite, and then you pick your top 10 and rate those only? something like a hybrid approach

for those of you with free neocities accounts (created after 2022) - are you able to use the pollcode widget? i thought it works for free accounts but maybe not!

*github page as an iframe, i can confirm it triggers the 'doesn't allow external scripts' issue :(

it used to work, but neocities updated to a stricter content security policy a year or so ago - it broke the WiiRing too, and I had to make an iframe version of it! here's more about it: https://dabric.xyz/post/neocities-csp/

@jeith thank you for the info! i'm still a bit confused because i have a 2nd (free) account to try these things out and it works for me over there.

hmm i know it only affects free accounts made after January 2024 (when the CSP was changed), so it could be when the account was made? otherwise it may be totally unrelated :P

petrapixel's avatar petrapixel 4 months ago

@jeith yeah my 2nd account was created mid 2024 so it SHOULD be affected. maybe a bug. time to create a 3rd account for testing haha

I added new styling options for my widgets! (https://petrapixel.neocities.org/coding/widgets) Basically, all valid CSS is possible now! Make sure to clear cache for MY website if something's not working for you!

ooo that sounds nice, but I have an idea, what about supporting the postMessage API so people can define the CSS using a little JavaScript code, it should work in free Neocities sites, and the URL wouldn't be long on complex styles. Just my 2 cents though.
