Wohooooo I got MonoGame (desktop build) and KNI (HTML5 export) working today. Which means I can recreate my Plant app with one code base, a better UI, better input and provide a desktop version for those that want a permanent version that doesn't require an internet connection. 😁 🌱

I'm also planning on expanding the narrator far beyond the first day, plus some other improvements/features.

Whew! NotSSG 1.1 is wrapped and ready for release. Gonna just give it a few days in case I think of anything, but the plan is to release 1.1 this Sunday (12th).

Q'PLAAAAAAAAAA I got it working. It finally freaking works. The HTML file cache busting is finally solved. NotSSG 1.1 is now officially actually happening, and NotSSG powered sites (including mine) will never have to worry about stale pages, sheets or scripts ever, ever again! :D

If anyone's interested, HTML file cache busting using a URL parameter works... provided you use Neocities clean, canonical URL. So ✅ about?cachebust=xxx, but, ❌ about.html?cachebust=xxx often serves stale content. I'll possibly be providing NotSSG's cache busting as a separate, independent non-NotSSG script also for those that might want it, and doing a blog entry on how the cache busting works at some point.

I really really really want to use NotSSG but I don't want to rewrite my current site around it, but I'm trying to think of a new Neocities site I could make as a side project to use it

Thanks tabf5, it's great to hear you're interested in NotSSG! It'll be there if/when you're ready! 😁

Cache busting CSS and JS wasn't too complex. But MAN, HTML file cache busting, combined with the fact Neocities has a bug with ?cb=xxx where it does the opposite of expected and often serves stale pages. And wanting to remain compatible with other hosts and the file system. Well, let's just say it's been a learning experience 😂😂😂. The code is written, tested on the file system and XAMPP. Now to test live lol.

And of course there's Neocities clean URL thing where it redirects about.html to just about being in the mix. Blimey.

The mystery of .html cache-busting continues to haunt us all. If we had access to our nginx config files we could all fix this in an hour. If only.....

Slight tweak. I've learned you can link directly to a page where players can rate the game. So the "Rate" link goes to that now. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (not a hint 😇)
