Tidbits

I've been tinkering with this Json basecode at least 2 hours every day for over a month. (Sometimes all day lmao) so I've been taking a few days off from any code whatsoever.

I plan to test it on my own blog and then release it for use before June 20th. I'll once again be volunteering at Roskilde Festival and will be offline 22nd June - July 8th. I'm taking a leader role this year so I've had quite a bit of prep and getting used to it.

I'm also doing a fun CSS course for JS devs in August, which I'm sure will benefit me on here as well.

omg just went through the github for your json tumblr base and i'm so in awe of your skills, flipse!!!!!!!!! everything's so insane (in a good way) !!

thank you!!! it ain't elegant, but it's robust 🥲👌I hope I can do a release within a few weeks.

[mournstera]

you make the prettiest and easy to customise themes! out of curiosity would you ever consider making a fansite theme? thank you for your wonderful themes!

You're very kind!!

I did one 1.5 years ago but retired it a few months ago. I don't have any plans to make one again I'm afraid.

love the phrase "but I digress." yes I temporarily got lost in the moors I wander in my mind but don't worry I'm self-aware about it

[mournstera]

Holy moly!! I just wanted to stop by and say I abandoned by own json base ages ago because I keep hitting snags with it, so I just had to drop by and commend you for the immense amount of time and effort you have put into this 👏👏👏 It looks amazing, I'm so excited to see it when it's finished!

THANK YOU!! ❤️🥲❤️ ngl i have taken so many laps in front of my computer scratching my head. you know your way around json so when i release it feel free to just take it apart and do whatever 🫶

(also you back! 👀)

..... well, an earthquake happened in Denmark today, and I was not far off from the center. wayyy bigger than the one I experienced in 2008 or or something. anywho!

I spent the entire afternoon and evening working out how to make /pages render in both preview and live blog, and ALSO retain user added classes like:

tumblr json kept stripping and/or not showing content on either live or preview blog. I settled on a template tag and it works. 🥲👌 more under the cut and github link

11 months ago I ventured into the indie web and found 11ty and Astro later and I would not have been able to do half of what I do today! I am trying to keep it super versatile and basically only focus on post blocks and content. the user-header and post-content gets populated from npf_data and pages gets content from page_body_raw's template through buildPageFallback function, excluding submit/ask page. classes on html node will be a mandatory thing lol.

you can have a look here! I have had great help workshopping several roads of mapping stuff, a few folks on bsky and discord, and of course.. stackoverflow. This is my no means ready. I am still experimenting. but i promise you post load is gonna be faaaaaast.

[mournstera]

not to brag but my new basecode is so fucking fast. your gif heavy blogs, will love me. this is so exciting. tumblr are lil shits and dumps a lot of useless 2016 code into our themes, but i will be damned if i have not cut 60% of the load time.
