so i've been working on this page template for like two months... .. designed and coded it the first time around, didn't quite check off all the points i had in my head. coded it again, still not quite right. realized part of the problem was a design issue. re-designed it referencing as aspect of MDN's layout (an overall better solution), coded from scratch... now it's closer to what i had in mind. while i've been tripping balls over UX, my boss is just delighted to have the template available for the website at all lmao

there are more javascript improvements that i could/should make, but just for the sake of good practice. :relief:

Hate when the clamp works differently for the parent class and its child. *sobs*

I actually hate having to make decorative graphics. All the searching for and editing of assets, the starting the process over because you don't vibe with it — is there any part more tedious

When you wanna make something other than threading codes but have no fuckling clue what to do
sometimes i pretend i'm making guidebooks or site templates for skins that i'll never make. maybe you could take some of your skin designs and do something with that? :o

i had to build some new pages where the desired content doesn't really fit the template and i'm a little poo-poo about it. like, there should be text content here, but instead, it's this long-ass lead gen form and the section is all stretched out. this wasn't the intended design!! page flow broken!!! marketers and their forms i s2g.

ngl i always feel a little bad when a site gets a new skin and i find myself thinking that it's a downgrade from their last one-
