Do you want demons purging your site again because being so cavalier with my true form is how you get demons purging your site again.

Not that I was thinking about using a static site generator, but this is affirming my sense that it's easier to code by hand than use one. Which is wild.

The idea is that USING it will be easy. Initial setup is the pain point (I hope). I would definitely be very selective who I recommended this to.

I want my pain points to be consistently painful throughout.

tried a ssg years ago when i first started using neocities, way too much upfront pain for not enough relief afterwards, in my experience. a few spreadsheets codes i've written to autopopulate things and copy + pasting pages has made hand coding the only approach i'll take now

My previews don't seem to be previewing but I'm doing something plenty dumb, don't you worry

I think so much of the peoblem with tech documentation is people assuming if it makes sense in their head, it makes sense for everyone. A lot of my job is going "oh! Yeah, that's the blue button, don't worry about the instructions," snark free from my end, that I think there needs to be a revolution in how-tos.

It turns out the documentation is not the only thing I have fundamental issues with. STAY TUNED.

btw, i've seen it in other ssgs do the "pretty url" thing too and it's so frustrating

And I just learned that Neocities does some trickery to support clean URLs anyway.

Nothing interesting today, just some restructuring and making those dang image folders consistent. Carry on.

No joke, I very nearly wore out a copy of Astro Lounge in late junior high/early high school.

I've used the garlic emoji once to react on an image of a hamster that looked like garlic on Discord. Me and my friend also used to be obsessed with Burkina Faso in elementary school. Not the country, but just the name of it, because it was so fun to say. I also remember its capital is named Ouagadougou, also very fun to say.

You also made me delve into some hecking research on some of these emojis! I guessed right that since emojis originate from Japan, love hotels have some cultural signifigance there which would explain the emoji's existance. Also eyeball speech bubble is apparently from an anti-bullying campaign 😮

@Harakan I did have to look up the eyeball myself because it was so baffling without context. It's a good sentiment, but it's hard to find any info on how effective it's been.

I summarize 120 chapters of a classic Chinese epic but I get the most engagement from a goofy listicle I threw together in 30 minutes. I suddenly understand why modern journalism is the way it is.

Have you considered a Top 10 "tens" article yet? It would be interesting to see how Base 10 stacks up with binary, or how Roman numerals stack up against Mayan stacks up against Arabic.

@Indy Remember, if you skip my summary to go read the actual book, I fade out of existence.

@Asterion HMMMM I really love that idea but knowing me I'll end up taking it and doing something dumb with it instead.
