Blog New Year, who dis? ✌️
Happy New Year!!
I’ve decided to kick off the much-awaited 2021 with a facelift to the site! Nothing revolutionary but a general polish that I believe my first design lacked. This is all from scratch, ground-up, so let me hear it if something doesn’t work for you. Readability is the main focus, and its a learning process on my end!
Updates:
- Animations!
-
Smooooth dark mode toggle!
- If you didn’t know, there is a button on the footer bar!
-
Smooooth scrolling!
- For locating where you are in the megalist of stories,
- From footnote to text and back.
-
Smooooth dark mode toggle!
- Full story support
- Now if you select the title of a story, it will take you to a page with all the chapters on one page.
- Lists
- Seperate from other content for better focus
- Fix the leader lines and table of contents on small screens
- Color tweaks
- Better visual hierarchy / separation
- A huge amount of back-end polish, refactoring, making it easier to maintain and post!
To-Do:
- PDF creation and better print styles
- possibly just better print design for readers to do themselves, all 3 of you.
- Image lightboxes/zoom
- (on the fence about this)
- Tag/Topic sorting on the Stories page
- Complicated
- Connective lines in the Table of Contents based on worlds/subject matter.
- Just wasting time at this point, avoiding the pen and page!
Regarding actual… you know… writing!
I have completed a commissioned story recently for Gammatelier, which will go up this month, and I hope to dive back into Dollhood or the Betas as soon as this coding craze leaves my system.
To everyone finding this page and ferrying on through to the Discord, hope you are well, keep reading and creating yourselves!
