Here's what I found about the new search feature (added in May): - Results **include** web sites with disabled profiles - external domains **probably excluded** (but sometimes have on-site mirrors) - NSFW-designated web sites **probably excluded** * * * - meta (property=og:description) content attribute **included** - title **included** - h1โh6 **included** - img alt attribute **excluded**

* * * - Double quotes force full-string matches, case-insensitive - Search **does not respect** Unicode canonical equivalents

I don't think we've seen the last of you! That's a pretty big (and cool) update to the site design for someone who is moving on. :P

I understand using neocities as a way to share writing and art with less fear and worry of how people will perceive it - I certainly use it that way often - but I don't resonate with the thinking of it as a tutorial or lesser than other outlets. The value is in what is said, not where it is posted. Substack is def the spot for growing as a pro writer, and I'm certain you'll succeed with your great writing, but

but it feels silly to put down Neocities in the same breath. Just my 1 cent and I very well may be misinterpreting your post. Best of luck with your Substack and the residency, I'll certainly keep reading

godspeed, mr. suboptimalism, moving on from the tutorial level, entering the domain of the struggle.

am I to understand that John Suboptimalism himself is trying to make an optimal career move?

in my case, i've always thought of neocities more as a retirement home, or maybe an adult rec league. though, with all the young people running around, it might be more analogous to leaving a high-pressure academic environment in order to teach high school. good luck in the big world

well i'm not sure most people would call "trying to write full-time" an optimal career path... also after only two days i'm already thinking i may not be cut out for this lol

good luck, homey. you can always make link farm pages here to send your substack some traffic if you want.

> ...the small size of the platform puts a limit to how far you can go... What is bro on about? It's a static hostโthe GitHub portfolio people don't have to seek attention specifically from other Gitizens. You just, link your site, and like, put your e-mail if you want the communication to be two-way. (It may be old-fashioned, but e-mail is the canonical way to contact a webmaster.)

how many hours do you think you've put in? the way your feet hover across the board is crazy (ยด๏ฝฅฯ๏ฝฅ`)

i dunno, there isn't really a playtime tracker and i've played on a bunch of different setups... probably over a thousand hours, but rarely longer than 2 hours per session, there's kind of a natural limit to it due to physical stamina, unlike many video games where you can sit there and binge for days at a time
