I can't believe I'm seriously considering making an art archive website.
Ok maybe I can because my problem solving brain is itching to do it (but where is the time and what about all those design decisions) and make it neat and "done properly" ish but -
But as for why I want to do it? Thank you Tumblr. And a little on cohost (although not surprised). And even though pillowfort is more transparent about their status and they seem to be doing ok for the next half year or so, I still want a more permanent option.
(Unless github and google drive and my computer all explode at the same time. Then we have much bigger issues.)
I've never coded a website but I'm excited to try it and play around with some automation and stuff. I'm excited and nervous. (We'll see where this goes in time.)
It's funny. I had been debating making a post to talk about times when to find fanart from Japanese artists (and maybe non-Japanese artists as well), each artist had their own site. There were search engines to find sites based on their content (and webrings?) and stuff. What I thought was neat was artists would indicate ratings (like gen vs shipping, etc..) which is something I've really missed. Either grouping each fandom's art that way or having little icons for each art piece (ex circle = general, triangle = subtle shipping hints, etc).
But anyways. Guess I might be adding making a website to the neverending Projects List!
