not really something i did to my website yet since im still in the brainstorming stage but im trying to figure out how to make my wardrobe pages
current ideas
im currently using an external platform to keep photos of all of my clothes and i dont even have everything on it but i already have 140 items (most are accessories but still) so i definitely cant put everything on a single page or itll be wayyyyy too big and annoying to navigate
Iām thinking of dividing it into tops, bottoms, sets (i dont have that many yet but whatever), coats, shoes, and accessories (possibly splitting up the accessories page into multiple ones?) and putting a JavaScript filter per color on each page. as for information included i will put the brand for sure but idk if i wanna put the priceā¦ i do like knowing how much i paid for what but also being like āheres a piece of clothing i spent 150ā¬ on ā always feels a bit like bragging. ill probably put whether i bought them new or used though
umm thats basically all so far
feel free to give feedback if you have any better ideas than me
Touched CSS for the first while in a long while, no major changes, just futzed.
Donāt like how my site looks, have a vague idea of what I actually want, but struggling with the implementation.
Technical implementation isnāt really the issue, I feel I have no sense of taste, and Iād be trial and erroring my way through getting something that looks not terrible, but Iāve not got time for that right now.
would love to hear how you end up doing this project. iāve been stuck about my wardrobe page for years atp because i canāt figure out how to take good photos of them lmao
My immediate thought when you said you want to categorise was to take inspiration from how dress up games do it lol, but I also looove that style so yk lol
And I definitely agree with the choice not to include price! it easily gets silly anyway, with 2nd hand stuff and diy stuff getting odd numbers imo. Iām interested in where you end up though!
I made some accessibility-related changes to my site today. I liked my old design and the palette picker was fun, but contrast wasnāt great overall and links werenāt as obvious as they could have beenā¦ I wrote about the changes I made here. One thing I didnāt mention is that I also turned my siteās liāl cat mascot into a favicon, heh.
im thinking about how in some dress up games you can only pick 1 element per category so it makes sense to separate like, earrings necklaces and bracelets into 3 categories but in real life i dont think i have enough jewellery for it to make sense. so unfortunately i do have to create my own categories to an extent
a dress up game of myself would fuck immensely though. i will keep it in mind
Iāve been rethinking the makefile I use to build my website, along with its fundamental design. Iām going to drop the makefile here. It works with GNU make and is basically a DIY static site generator that works with hand-written HTML files with metadata in sed scripts. If none of that makes sense to you, donāt worry about it.
Low-key major update of my vampires page, all because I wanted to write a snippet about having watched saw (2004) after much too long lmao. The code was a bit atrocious so I gave it a major clean-up and de-JavaScripted the whole page. Just because I could, really. Still some stuff I wanna get done, but my āgoing to bed at 22ā suddenly turned into āoh my itās 03ā so itās time to quit for tonight
I did something similar to this a little while back with markdown, pandoc, and I think some jinja2 templating. It sure wasnāt easy. This looks like a very well cared for set of Makefiles!
Thanks! At one point I was processing Markdown and Org Mode text with pandoc, but thatās a heavy dependency that adds a lot of wall clock time even when the build process is incremental and parallelized. Besides, itās unnecessary if you can write your own HTML and have a cat who knows MEWNIX.
I still use a Makefile to consistently run the tasks involved in generating my static site output, but I know that I am not using it to its fullest potential. I have an 11ty based website these days so it mostly consists of PHONY targets to kick off 11ty, and then to move some things around that are outside of the 11ty build.
I do like the idea of building out the site without any kind of generator like 11ty, but Iāve got a tenuous grasp on make and coreutils and etc and decided it might be a better use of time to outsource that to 11ty and spend what time I do have trying to write stuff. It might be fun to give it another shot someday though! A friend of mine uses a series of bash scripts to generate theirs and it works surprisingly well for them.
If your setup works for you, stick with it. You donāt have to do it my way.
My approach is mainly about taking advantage of knowledge I had already picked up along the way, and about proving to myself that it could be done, that one can build a website with plain old HTML and CSS and provide some modern amenities like consistent components without resorting to a SSG or CMS with lots of gnarly dependencies.
But Iām nowhere near using m4, sed, or awk to their fullest potential. They seem impressive, but there are UNIX graybeards who would call what Iām doing childās play.
felt a sudden urge to do a layout revamp so im working on that (not currently visible online id like to get it to a decent state before sharing it for real)
So Iāve been participating in Weird Web October this past week and Iām pretty proud of todayās submission as I managed to do two challenges at the same time.
Itās not a very visible change, but I switched subcultureofone from Hugo on Cloudflare pages to 11ty on a VPS. I was feeling like I wasnāt as in control of my site as I wanted to be. There was a lot going on with hugo and with the theme that I didnāt really get, and I had no control over the server configuration.
Now the site is simpler. Iām using 11ty to build it, but I wrote all the templates, css, js, etc., so I know everything thatās going on. I need to restore some meta and link tags, but Iāll get to that.
This has been weighing on my mind for a while and I was putting off actually adding things to the website, so Iām happy to have it done.
(most are accessories but still) so i definitely cant put everything on a single page or itll be wayyyyy too big and annoying to navigate
ā always feels a bit like bragging. ill probably put whether i bought them new or used though
