me: maybe i'll attempt installing light mode

i haven't touched codepen in so long i'm afraid that i may have lost all my coding knowledge :")
this is so real tho. i do find that when i don't do it as often, it takes me awhile to kind of get back in the "groove" so to speak. like things that i can recall and free write without having to look up simply bc it's html basic stuff or is something i know intuitively bc i've done it so many times, like flexbox. it's like when you stop playing an mmo for awhile and you have to spend some time grinding stuff to work back up to where you were. it's not that you "lost" the skills so to speak. lowkey it's nice to know that other people feel this way and it's not just you y'know lmao

If this is not love, what should we call it?
i haven't coded in so long and it shows in the way i type text-size and pika surprise stare every single time nothing happens

i say this like i didn't always type font-align every single time when i was still coding regular

I figured out how to nest divs in the bbcodes in jcink and I feel so proud of myself.

Follow-up: I now have no idea how to make it work when there are multiple bbcodes at play.




the custom bbcodes can be tricky since they're mean to be used for simple stuffs. i could help but jcodes.jcink.net/ can give you more reliable answers

The most important part is making sure you're commenting the bbcodes right. In practice, it looks like this:


Also, a trick to remember is if multiple BBCodes are meant to be used together, you can, for example, have the closing </div> for one BBCode in another one. I'm not the best at explaining things, but basically the way I try to keep it in mind is all the BBCode is doing is displaying text inside of it. As long as the combined structure works in "plain text" it doesn't really matter which BBCode it's in.

yknow, I'm going to do my best to not just completely dump on a design. Cause if it's not for me, it's not for me.

I will absolutely look at you with disdain from my hovel if you use a somewhat transparent + blur option for large swaths of text because I feel like this is a full scale five world war attack to my eyes.

(again to be specific, do it, just don't expect my little eyeballs to read it.)

i will absolutely dump on designs that do not fit the purpose they exist to do. if you put your aesthetic lyrics that i'm not supposed to GAF about in font like that, sure, cool. if you put your post that i'm meant to read in that, the design is bad. full stop.

it's why i tend to prefer sites that don't allow post templates tbh. i'm tired of bad design everywhere.
