Lowkey one of the funniest sites on Neocities by a mile, I bust out laughing when I clicked the light bulb to switch into dark mode. Fantastic site!!!!

Article too long? Scrolling too much? Just press this button! *button causes font size change to 1px*. Problem solved! :D

Some progress made today! Once again, any feedback on this is much appreciated (as much as is possible without the download being available yet lol).

Think I might make my RSS link to an "in-between" page which explains what RSS actually is and provides some options, and THEN the actual RSS link. Why? RSS is old (even though it's great!) and most people dunno what it is lol. xD Being linked to just "some XML" is probably confusing for a lot of people. I would be confused if I didn't know what it was!

Ifffff anyone is bored and wants something to do xD, I'd really appreciate any feedback on this guide thus far. Does reading it give you a good idea of what NotSSG does? Or does it leave you O_O? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I would start the overview with a brief, easily-digestible explanation of how it works, rather than try to communicate that by defining each file's purpose. Ease folks into the technical bits!

Thanks a lot skep, that's honestly some great feedback! And woops, my bad haha! The correct filename is my-layout.html.js, I'll get that sorted!
One feature I think is useful in NotSSG is its server friendly, automatic cache busting. NotSSG cache busts every 15 minutes of the hour, meaning your visitors won't have to do a full reload (Ctrl+F5) and Neocities servers are respected. If you prefer however, you can also trigger NotSSG's cache busting instantly/manually for your visitors by declaring "CACHE_BUST: [some_number]" in the config file.

Just spruced up this page a bit! I hope it gives a better picture of what NotSSG actually does than before. xD
