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 :]
Thank you!! Yeah I hope I get the hang of it soon. Thankfully I have the power of W3schools on my side :D
This is the beginning of many other page setups I’ll make to shape the site! For now, I’ve added a changelog div, and will configure the rest in a better way soon! ^^
I spent the last two days working on a layout for my page from scratch! I admit it took me a while to learn and get used to how the grid system worked, but I couldn't be more satisfied with the result I got! :'] Little by little, my aesthetic and vibes are showing through, and I can't help but squeak in excitement!
Oh! I also added a button section in my sidebar, with my site button and the buttons of some sites I follow! ^^
Edit: Currently in the process of fixing the divs’ sizing and spacing, since Neocities is the host and having everything properly coded for it is one of my goals now. I also hope to make the site mobile-friendly in the future.
