Anyone here got a cool gemini website? I read about the gemini protocol earlier today and I'm thinking of trying it out over the weekend.

I haven't been as active in exploring geminispace as I've wanted to be (for some months now, bleh), but I can offer a capsule (a bbs, really) for a starting point --

gemini://bbs.geminispace.org/ <- what it says on the tin, a BBS run by skyjake, who makes the Lagrange gemini browser (Lagrange is also very nice)

Do you have access to geminispace sorted? If not, I'd recommend Lagrange, though there's also in-web-browser emulators and there should be one at mozz.us (as well as, iirc, a gemini faq and the like)

https://portal.mozz.us/

Thank you! I went to the bbs and saw your post there lol. Yeah, it concerns me too that gemini doesn't seem to have critical mass (maybe not until it gets a mature mobile client). I love how text-centric it is -- I think it would be a good spot for a personal blog or a serialized novel or some such.

I'm not worried about "critical mass", though? Just my own ability (or not) to keep up with things I want to keep up with. Geminispace has been on the go since 2019 and the protocol itself isn't completed for standardization yet iirc.

Lagrange is fine for mobile?

I shouldn't have written "too" there. Didn't mean to imply you were concerned about critical mass. :)

I didn't find any recently updated gemini clients on F-droid. I may have missed Lagrange being available on mobile

Off the top of my head, both Lagrange and Rosy Crow are on F-Droid; I just checked Rosy Crow for updates yesterday.

No, neither is in the default repository.

I'm looking right at them. *shrug*

You can always grab Lagrange right off its page, of course:

They're not in the default repo (f-droid.org/repo), but thanks for the link.

I just finished a big update on my Fujofans web listing! Biggest of all is getting like 30 people on the listing that have been waiting for a year lol. But also added a cute new color theme in an effort to ward off transphobes, as well as other css tweaks. Now my eyes and head hurt from staring at the screen today. Worth it.

I'm backreading posts in this community and your comment amuses me. I spend way too much time on making code look pretty even though it doesn't change anything!

I don't know if it helps your specific "aesthetic issues", but do you know of HTML beautifiers/formatters, e.g. https://codebeautify.org/htmlviewer, https://webformatter.com/html? Might save you some time.

As I feel like I'm between writing projects my primarily linklist website has been getting a lot of updates and even some new pages. I am going to start putting some of my own posts and not just links on there soon, I think.

I feel a bit stuck with my site right now as I want to add a fanfic archive of all my old fics but have no desire to code 100+ pages.

I looked at using a SSG, but am not at all confident with command line/terminal. I guess the other option is some kind of php script or something similar, but then I would have to move off Neocities and probably pay for some hosting, which I guess is fine, but not really what I wanted to do just yet.

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for making it easier?

I don't think a SSG would be a bad idea for this project. I managed to get Pelican working and apparently Jekyll is even easier. The main issue using an SSG with a free Neocities account is that it regenerates the whole site you built and you would kind of have to replace all* files every time you updated, but if you were doing an archive where updates are few it wouldn't be that arduous

*maybe you could pick and choose which files to update but it might screw up something like a tagging system if you have one

There are ways to automate file uploads to neocities! I use the deploy to neocities git script, this page details how to do that and/or use the command line :D

https://nenrikido.neocities.org/blog/post/deploy-site/

I think the thing with SSGs is that I was having a hell of a time trying to even get started from scratch/from the tutorials.. so I ended up just using a template (tried both Eleventy and Astro) and having an easier time learning how SSGs work!

I recently got a site up and running with Eleventy and yeah, a template is a nice way to get going :D I’ve started digging into the config files to get other things I want and their documentation is decent but could use more examples.

Don't be afraid of the terminal. The first step to getting good at things is being bad at them. I recommend Zola for an SSG. Jekyll gets nightmarish a couple of years in due to the mess of Ruby dependencies.

Been sort of procrastinating/getting distracted when it comes to doing things on my site orz. At most I tweaked the color palette a bit a few days ago (to hopefully make the text a bit more easy to read - it wasn't unreadable before, but it was slightly off on some accessibility criterias).

There's a post I made on my journal for the Snowflake Challenge that I ended up spending A LOT of time on and am highly considering turning into a page on my site, since I feel that post has a lot of info about some canons I like and why I like them. And that's probably cool stuff to include there!

I got my fedi instance up and running, which technically was more like just shy of two weeks ago but it's been a series of small adjustments until just ~Thurs past or thereabouts, so *welp*

Not as much progress on my rpg theory posts as I'd like... but I've been poking around on a forum that's showing some promise as an alternative to twitter-type communities

Recently updated my website to go from macaque.moe to ballonlea.net! I'm also currently looking for someone to take over my webring, as I have lost interest in maintaining it. Fingers crossed I'll get some emails and it won't just have to be deleted!
