man i'm kind of sitting here regretting the fact that i launched my utau site on carrd because i didn't know neocities was a thing, but by the looks of it a neocities site has the potential to be better in literally every single way (read: i am still mad that carrd's audio player is so broken)

So this evening I've been working on a way to make it easier to add filters to blog pages without JS. This is mainly an alternative to isotope, commonly used in icon, media, downloads, and portfolio pages. CSS only solutions, especially like this, can be intimidating to look at even if you're not new to CSS.

I'm hoping this will take care of the bulk of the work/the more complicated parts so that you can make more complex custom pages without the user having to wait for permission to use JS.

Here's a simple example with just display: none added to the CSS

And on my preview page, I've used the same code and added multiple filter groups and some CSS animations.

If you are familiar enough with HTML and CSS, you can try out what I currently have, but keep in mind you will still need to write most of the HTML and CSS yourself. I want to make a more detailed guide so that it's easier to use soon!

Researching Old Web Designs

Wanting to get back to coding for myself and coding things I enjoy, I researched 'old web' / 'old internet' GUI designs and became more fascinated. I've always liked the aesthetic but took time to look more deeply into the design aesthetic!

I also decided to test for myself if I could recreate the graphical user interface (GUI) designs using HTML, CSS and JavaScript (mainly for any functionality I want to add to the design). The above gif is me demonstrating a fake Windows 2000 PowerShell design. Again, this was built using only HTML, CSS and JavaScript!

There have been 20 versions of the Windows operating system and I will be designing from version 10-12; Windows NT 4.0 (1996), Windows 98 (1998) and Windows 2000 (2000)!

Maybe at the end, I will combine all my designs into one place for others to view them! As I do this, I will continuously learn about the history of the internet and the Windows OS.

I'm very sorry. Six months ago you commented on a Gordon Ramsey accessibility post that your job to help make websites accessible. How do I get that job? I would love that so much. I'm sure you've answered this before but I can't find it.

I, too, am sure I've answered this before, but I can't remember where and I'm not about to brave the Tumblr search feature to go looking, so you and @the0dd0ne get a twofer.

Hi, I'm not a bot, and I was wondering if I could ask you a weird career question? I saw your addition on that "Accessibility Nightmares" post where you mentioned it's your actual job to email websites about their lack of accessibility and what they need to do to make it accessible, and can I ask how you got into that? I got injured on the job and need to make a huge career change, and that type of work has always been really interesting to me, but I don't even know where to start to get into it! Also feel free to ignore this lol I know it's out of left field.

(This is actually the third question I've got on this, so no, not that out of left field.)

So the first thing to understand is that it's actually pretty hard to get into digital accessibility because there just aren't that many companies doing it. As far as I know from company meetings there aren't that many schools teaching it as a part of their core web development curriculum. It's just not that common to think about it as part of web development. Which is vastly irritating.

I started mucking around with the web when there was first a web to muck around on, but when the pandemic hit and my Mom suggested (in a hilarious twist of circumstances) that I go to one of those Learn to Code boot camps to get a certificate that said I actually knew my shit so I could get a job in web development. A number of these boot camps also have job placement programs and pipeline agreements with certain companies. and in a nutshell that's how I got into it. The company sent my boot camp a letter saying "we need N warm bodies" and they sent the company a list of names, I got interviewed, I got hired as a contractor, and after a couple years of good work for them I got invited to interview for a permanent position, which I got.

These days due to the state of the everything, there are probably 10-50 programmers for every open development position, depending on language and job type and company. It's a rough field out there and I got very, very lucky in my timing. But if you want to try it, the boot camp to job pipeline is probably your best bet. Ask the boot camp recruiters if they have connections to accessibility firms. If they don't, you can always try asking if they have connections to web development/site packaging firms and then check if the firms have an accessibility department. Tell the recruiter up front what you're looking to work in, and keep in mind that the recruiter's job is to convince you to give the boot camp your money. (Mine was $12k USD.)

For resources to study in the meantime, there's the A11y Project which has discussions, videos, articles, posts, etc about digital accessibility, a lot of good information. You can also look at the resources for the CPACC exam, I don't recommend taking it unless you have a few hundred USD to burn but you can definitely study up on the Body of Knowledge, which is a free PDF to download. And there is, in fact, an accessibility job board, although I don't have any experience with applying for any of these jobs cold.

The languages I use most in my job are HTML and jQuery, and I passively use (meaning I read and interpret but don't actually program in) JavaScript and CSS. This is mainly because we work with client sites and there's only so much of the client code we can touch; if there's a problem in the client code we can't touch we have to write it up and tell them to fix it. If you end up in house for some large brand you may end up working in more web development languages, but a lot of accessibility can be handled by basic HTML attributes called ARIA attributes (and roles) and there's the documentation on that. Another tool to have is your soft skills: communication, specificity of language, writing up good descriptions of what code does what so you can explain exactly what needs to be fixed where and why. You might also want to look at documentation on what makes good alt text, where it's needed, what kind of labels are standard, etc. I think you can find that in the A11y Project pages, but honestly I just learned it on the job working with senior developers.

It's a hard time to get into software development at all, let alone a niche field like web accessibility. But Europe is about to have a digital accessibility law come into effect in July of next year (that encompasses more than just the web, that's just my area of expertise) and the US is making slow but steady strides in requiring digital accessibility as well, so there are jobs out there and there might be companies hiring to capitalize on the need. There will definitely always be companies putting off conforming to regulations until the last possible minute, and then needing services and specialists. So study up, practice, and good luck!

[some-teeth-in-a-trench-coat]

What kind of discussion group do you have in mind?

I am once again daydreaming of making my own social media platform and how to make it not give a hoot about American laws (no relation to American soil, I'm European anyway) and be structurally resistant to enshitification through independence and community ownership unfortunately I am one inexperienced programmer with not much spare change to throw at such a gamble so I'm only daydreaming

Reclaiming the Web & GenZ Comfort

I love witnessing the recent wave of people (mainly Millenials and especially Gen Z) rejecting social media and trying to recreate the more 'Personal' Web of the early days of the internet. I am Gen Z myself, and though I had social media for the purpose of promoting my books and keeping in touch with people, I seldom use them now because I am so enamoured by the idea of the Personal Web. Deleting social media apps has been tremendously helpful to my mental and even physical health; it just feels great.

The Personal Web movement mainly relies on creating your own website (with Neocities, for example), forums, blogs, etc. I am planning on learning HTML & CSS, so hopefully in the future I'll be able to join the club, but for now I think Tumblr is a good platform for simple blogging like this. Sure, it has social media aspects, but that disconnect it has from celebrity culture and short-form content really makes it a good start (not sponsored, haha).

So yeah, let's reclaim the internet and push away celebrity/corporate culture and AI brainrot. This movement makes me hopeful for the future generation. I can only speak of Gen Z, but I think a decent amount of people have realised/lived the consequences of the internet from a young age, also referred to as 'internet trauma' by many. So here's hoping we reinvent the internet to make it more human again (and protect children from it, especially at its current brainrot state). I believe in us.

STARTING POINT

When I made this sideblog, it was mainly to have a sort of a digital diary to track my learning progress. I thought it'd be a just me and my few mutuals in here. But to my surprise, the introduction post received a warm welcome from the Studyblr and Codeblr communities! 💗 Thank you so much for the support. I'm really excited to get started on this journey.

1/100 days of code, 250523

☑ CSS Frameworks: Bootstrap

A few weeks ago, I bought a web development course on Udemy. I made some progress, but I wasn't getting consistent in my learning.

So, to fix that, I decided to take part in the famous challenge.

✨100 days of code ✨

Boy! One hundred days! Just the sound of it is frightening.

But I'm determined to give it a solid shot.

My plan for these coming months is to learn coding every day for at least 90 minutes.

In the real world, I'm a user experience and interface designer, and hopefully by the end of this challenge, I'll be able to bring some of my designs to life with code.

Resources that I'm using :

Colt Steele' web development course ( Udemy )

Web Design with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery ( Book set )

The odin project ( Website )

Kevin Powell ( Youtube )

Web Dev Simplified ( Youtube )

[itsbenedict]

Alright, Google is zero help with this (every variant of what I'm asking for just floods me with SEO-optimized results for exactly the opposite of what I'm looking for), so...

In my day job, I'm a web developer, mainly. I've got a good deal of experience working with HTML/CSS/JS for front-end UI development, so when I decided to build a content management system for my game project- which is going to be a bunch of pages and menus and buttons and selectors and stuff- it seemed like a natural choice to just build it as a web app, using those skills I already have. It wouldn't be hosted anywhere- the idea would be to just load index.html on localhost and work from a local browser window offline- but I figured I could prototype it pretty quickly with good old-fashioned divs and CSS.

Eeeeexcept I can't do that, actually. The purpose of the app is to manage a directory full of a bunch of structured custom content files- maps, units, sprites, yada yada yada, and lots of small individual changes will happen to a lot of different file resources. Browsers are bad for this, because they rightly have a lot of security protections against webpages accessing the user's filesystem. While I thought the File System API would just let me prompt the user for access to the content folder, and then just work with those files freely from there, that... is apparently a very experimental feature that Firefox doesn't support yet. Seems like a bad choice of thing to rest the entire functionality of the app on.

So what I'm looking for is... is there a framework somewhere for building desktop apps (so I can access local files easily) that uses HTML/CSS/JS for front-end UI development? Something like a browser that's not a browser and doesn't have those inherent security protections to get around?

[cogmented]

i like to ask a question why did you started to be a artists in the first place. I just curious ( p.s love your artwork)

THANKS SO MUCH and i started drawing because i was on the internet a lot as a child. things on the internet around 2013 had a lot of bright colors and movement and i wanted to make things like that too

i started out coding in html and css, making little sprites and what not, but i also looked at young animators like banithekitty, taxicab, swiftkhaos, kay2036, splashkittyartist, koolkitty100, any warrior cats animator under the sun, watching speedpaints, series like homestar runner and the noob adventures, old vhs soviet cartoons and other more full production handdrawn styles...

i started out with animation, i liked seeing things move, i began to draw static things maybe a few weeks after doing animation

(10 yr->15 yr)

i did oc and warrior cats animations mainly. i only started drawing humans/humanoids in 2019, and started drawing full pieces traditionally around 2022. big charcoal fan

here's a hit piece from when i was 9

[manonamora-if]

hii i tried following that one forum post for a splash screen that you mentioned before in an ask, i didnt really understand it TT could you make a version for dummies? thank you!

Hi Anon,

Do you mean this ask? about this Forum post? I'll try to make it easier then, cause it mainly is some copy-pasting and some light editing.

The Splash Screen, more explanation

The code from the post will create an element that will cover the whole page, and be triggered every time the game loads (or the tab refreshes).

So first, get on the Forum post, and copy the code in the correct places:

Stylesheet

JavaScript

---

Then you will want to edit it to customise it for your project. There is code to change in both block of code:

In the JavaScript, you will need to indicate the correct image you want to display on the screen, or any other element (like text).

In the Stylesheet, you will want to edit the colour of the background (and potentially the text colour) to match the vibe.

JavaScript

Here, you will want to edit the correct URL of the image you want to have on the screen.

If you want text instead of the image, you can do so by wrapping it with a < p > markup (or other relevant HTML markup):

though, you will need to edit one more thing to make it work, in the .find() line, like below (p for the < p > element, and so on):

StyleSheet

The biggest change you'd need to make for the code in the style sheet will be with the code below:

currently, the colours match the basic SugarCube UI colours. So if you've changed the UI palette for your project, you will want to edit those colours (background especially, color is only useful for text)

If you are not using an image, but some text in your splash screen, you will also need to edit this part of the code, to replace the img with the correct HTML markup:

(in the example above, you'd need to change the img with p)

Testing

One important thing afterwards, will be to test the splash screen (for colour, position, or even animation). Note: if you are coding in Twine and used a local image in the splash screen, don't forget to publish to file and open the HTML, rather than test/play through Twine/

If you want to test the Splash Screen, and fiddle with the CSS with the Inspect Tool of your browser, I advise you change the amount of this line in the JavaScript:

Add a bunch of zeros to increase the time (but don’t forget to remove them before uploading your file anywhere).

Hope this helps!

longass advice seeking post incoming, bay bee !

tldr: i’m looking for a good social media to post my art and make art friends on

so, i used to be a regular deviantart user back in the day, yah? i had toyhouse/artfight but deviantart was where i did eeeverything on. i didn’t know how good i had it back then, as ever since i left in 2022 due to everyone else leaving, i’ve never been fully satisfied with another social media.

here’s my best guesses at identifying why i liked it so much:

mostly artist user base: i do art as a hobby, not looking for commissions atm, so i have a preference to interact with other artists over the average twitter/instagram users

community: i loved the little niche communities that formed there (2018/19 mario/koopaling community my beloved 🥰). the site is full of people who comment thoughtful things, and it’s easy to go back and forth. i really miss that. i remember spending most of my time in the mario community, but also a lot in the adoptable and original species communities. dA adoptable culture is something i miss- it was really fun to make and buy amateur adopts with points and art offerings alone. if i was older when i joined dA, i probably would have been into ARPGs too (like bagbeans and midveil). (wait actually if you know any good ARPGs active today i’m interested to know 👀)

page customization: genuinely had so much fun with this, i loved looking at f2u page codes and i even made some of my own. some days i think i spent more time customizing my page than posting art! probably (subconsciously at least) why i’m into website building nowadays…

but now i’m on tumblr! …right? i’ve been lurking on this site for almost as long as i’ve been on deviantart, so it was kinda like a natural progression of things. however, i’m not 100% happy with it. mainly, i dislike how tags are the main way of communicating. some people have said nice things to me in tags, and i want to thank them, but wtf do i do? not like i can reply to tags, so send a private message? that sounds waaaay too personal. well whatever, i still like it here, so i’ll stay for the time being. but i want something else.

so. what do i do now?

i’m considering a couple options:

neocities: you wouldn’t know from my currently unmodified layout, but i do know html/css. i’ve coded whole webpages for fun already, and i adore the creative freedom it allows. the downside is though, i probably wouldn’t get much interaction there, even if i include a chatbox or some other way to reach me on my website.

sheezy.art: on surface level this looks like something that would scratch my dA itch, but i’ve yet to do more research, so i can’t say for sure yet. i worry the user base is too small now though.

toyhou.se: i mean, i already have an account here. what i’d do is make it public and… trying to interact more with others? i don’t know if th can be used as a main social media. at least it appeals to my old adoptable/original species community nostalgia.

newgrounds: i’ve been told it’s great for artists. however, whenever i look at the comments of anything, nobody says much of anything. i’m looking for a site where yapping is more common! also everyone is SO talented on there, i feel like i’d stick out at my skill level there.

any other suggestions i get from this post (although i’m wary of sites that take your art for ai purposes) (yes i know tumblr does this 😭)

this is actually quite important to me so like. any advice, suggestions, or thoughts are appreciated. thanks in advance!

reblogs are welcome to spread this around
