All that to say, you shouldn't feel confined to minimal designs, but be prepared for more work—maybe a lot, because it's basically writing another style sheet. One for each breakpoint, depending on how much is changing.

my dear, sweet, cinnamon roll husband keeps randomly bringing me (steamed or roasted) vegetables while i'm working. it's usually broccoli, but he's also brought sweet potato, cauliflower, and squash.

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.

Should I wait until AFTER the beta to start making V6 pre-mades, running the risk that something changes drastically that they no longer work, or should I risk it and start now to have a backlog when it fully drops for people to use -
tbh i'd make some stuff now, to get familiar with the new tools and layouts. if something changes later (and it probably will), you can always reuse the code you already wrote!! just with some tweaks. i'm going to make a few older themes to try it out. my v6 beta board was the first one and it was broken until they last updated the software, so i'm excited to start FINALLY lmao

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:

random af: when your husband has the audacity to tell you that you need to learn behind the toilet of your 3,000 square foot two-story home that has three bathrooms and take care of your child and two canines while he cant even mow the lawn once a week....

*silent anger face*
yeahhhh that's a hard no for me. i got riled up reading this. if he wants that specific shit cleaned, he can do it himself.

hello. i have returned from the mountains. the mosquitos gorged themselves upon my flesh.

fun fact: if your sleeping bag is rated for 0°F, you probably won't die (at least not in the bag). however, you won't be comfortable below 40°F.
