Guys, I wanna ask: which of you use alternative text/code editors to build your site and why? Are they worth it? And which layout systems do you use in CSS to structure your HTML? Lastly, what are your tips for someone who's on its way to shaping its site in a certain style? :7
i use atom! the neocities code editor is web-based, which means longer load & save times. using a separate IDE solves that + also lets me work on larger projects without the neocities 'page updated' thing alerting everyone before it's ready! also also atom has autocomplete and community addons which are both really very helpful
tips are 1. always ALWAYS make sure your site scales up and down correctly w/ different monitor resolutions (flexboxes & vh/vw measurements are helpful for this) 2. images take time to load, especially on slower connections, so i try to optimize them/replace them with css effects as much as i can! & 3. planning your site out on paper first generally helps quite a bit
boy that sure was a lot. anyway i hope you have fun working on your site!! the assets have been incredible-looking so far n i'm excited to see what u do w/ the rest of it :]
