Making this was maybe slightly healing to my inner child if I'm being honest. Can't wait to recreate some of my equally awful Tokyo Mew Mew pages!

feel free to disregard this comment if this is a problem you wanted to solve yourself. but since i saw your menus were giving you trouble, you can add tabindex="0" to your .dropdown class items and then '.dropdown:focus .dropdown-content' and '.dropdown:focus-within .dropdown-content' as additions to the dropdown:hover menu activation. that should work with keyboard! it worked in my firefox dev tools, anyway.

tabindex is an attribute that is added in the html itself, while the other two things are for the css. (maybe you figured that out or knew that already, just saying just in case.)

Thank you so much!! I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. I will try this out!

And to help out, here's some info on accessibility guidelines for tabindex: https://webaim.org/techniques/keyboard/tabindex

yea, and as an aside truly accessible dropdowns will make use of js to toggle an "aria-hidden" attribute to true or false based on user interaction on the menu, depending on whether it's open or not. i can't give any tips for that though, i'm sorry... my own dropdowns all just use the details element.

I definitely recommend it! The art style is cute and your fishies follow your cursor when you're feeding them, so it's fun to watch the frenzy. :)

NICE. Downloading Melvor Idle to give it a go. I've been playing Clicker Heros for the last few months. Completely mindless game to fill 5 mins here and there 😄

Sometimes I get bored of all of my video games (backlog included, somehow) and just end up right back on Cookie Clicker... but I'll have to give these other games a shot! Thanks for the great blog post! :D

Also, hi! Sorry for the radio silence these past couple of weeks. Stardew 1.6 happened.
I agree 100%. It's really frustrating to keep track of information on Discord when a lot of the information could be hosted on a website instead.
There was once a Discord server for a Minecraft mod which I was in, and it contained a gallery where users could share content they made for the mod in question (an avatar customisation mod). Some time last year, the owner went rogue and deleted the server. If I had to guess I'd say about two years of art and memories disappeared at the press of a button. Discord servers were never meant to be permanent.
This is a really good post. I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately though, esp in the case of FFXIV mods, I think people are actively avoiding a truly public option. It seems that people want some ability to moderate who accesses their information, even if they don't actively do so. I'm not entirely sure why this is, other than one mod creator I know of getting harassed off of the main modding sites by transphobes.
Adequate moderation is definitely necessary to ensure that public online spaces remain safe enough for people to want to be there!
I liked reading your post a ton! I didn't even know Discord was adding ads (or, as they call it, Quests, bleh). I wholeheartedly agree with your stance, and it's so easy to make a website to host your information nowadays! I am definitely also going to give UpNote a looksee, it looks really good!
