the one thing youre proudest of in your website!

no idea if this has been done before… there was 1 similar topic but the last reply was from 2024 lol so here goes nothing

whats the ONE thing youre proudest of about your site?

it can be anything, maybe a specific page, a program you wrote for it, a particular blog post, a css trick, but please be specific. stuff like “im proud i made a website” is too generic. if its like “im proud of the aesthetic” maybe say how exactly did you achieve the aesthetic!

if you have more than 1 site feel free to say 1 thing about each, if you want!

The overall concept! I wanted to see if the bulk of a website can be set inside one long homepage that can be read top-to-bottom but also with links between sections like on a wiki. Worked really well, too, if not for very long.

I’m most proud of my insane CSS and how I eventually optimized it too. Pulling apart what was initially one big file of 3000+ lines of code and dicing it into little bits. Oh, and I’m proud of my background-image optimization. It was a big lag before when I had the image on the body tag with the properties “position: fixed;” and “background-blend-mode: var(–background-blend-mode), overlay;”.

Now I use a dedicated div just after the body tag (anyone can always “steal” my code):

#bg-no-lag {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100vw;
    height: 100vh;
    z-index: -100;
    background-color: var(--background-color);
    background-image: url('https://frammyjammy.neocities.org/suzu-and-jack/img/rainbow%20baby.png');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    background-blend-mode: var(--background-blend-mode), overlay;
}

I’m also really proud of my 15 different selectable themes! I use CSS variables to create them and JavaScript to apply them. : )

im really proud of my extremely organized plush collection pages, it’s why i made a website to begin with and its such a fun conversation starter and enjoyable to slowly build up over time!!!

i also love my about me page because i struggled a lot with the layout and getting the css to cooperate and it looks great ^^

The backend. I built a just-in-time static site generator from scratch, with its own markup language. I just upload a specifically-named text file and BOOM, a page/post is created and builds itself.

I like my ‘media’ landing page a lot, even though I actually need to upload the media review pages one day and I still haven’t LOL…coming soon, allegedly. But something about the layout is satisfying to me… and I’m pretty proud that I have my media log still going even tho it aint much to look at.

The content. I appreciate that design is a big part of the old web also, but I have no talent in that regard. For me, as someone who first experienced the internet in the early 1990s as a Computer Science student at Uni, it’s all about the communication; that and the sharing of information, and the establishment of communities of interest.

Great question! For my main site, definitely the comment system I made where people can sign in via their websites.

Another project I worked on that I’m really proud of is Calgary Groups, a directory for local organizations in my city. There are hundreds of entries and it is so fast (makes up for all the other coding sins I’ve committed over the years)

The fun i’ve managed to have with css!! I especially am proud of my “lamia”-page (which just is me playing with css lol) though i really like my “fashion”-page too!

like damn, I made that! the buttons on the camera even work!!

Although I am currently in the process of learning how to build my own CMS in order to get rid of WordPress, I’m proud of how I’ve manipulated WordPress to work for me!

I don’t think anyone could guess it runs on WordPress without checking source code or the pages where I say it runs on WordPress! Haha.
