I know saying this may make me sound "stupid" in some way but, only recently did I come back to visual studio code once I learnt there was a "live preview" extension, since I always coded blog layouts on tumblr there was always a live preview to reference so, over time that's just how I became comfortable coding, meaning I've been coding everything w/ tumblr's live preview until now... orz (to be continued)

tldr; I'm asking if anyone else requires a "live preview" next to their code while working on their sites, rather than refreshing a webpage? I'm interested in "what does everyone else do" bcuz only *now* am I looking into alternative ways to code after telling myself "tumblr live preview won't last forever"

i use brackets and i can't lie i literally just found out it had a live preview section this entire time. i've been refreshing my pages each time i've made a single edit. you are a lifesaver

back then when i was starting out i used to write directly on the neocities ide, pressing update and praying it hasnt borken anything. nowadays i use vsc with a an extension that runs a local webserver (five server, derivative of live server) which i can use to preview live on the computer and other devices on the lan. every time i save the file it automatically refreshes all browsers connected to it, very convinient

I love VSCode and that same extension. When I started it was an editor called brackets that had a live preview function so yeah it helps a lot.

I run my site locally on my computer and I use an extension called "Live Server". Instead of Live Preview that has the page only in the VSC window, I got it also in my browser. But way back then when I first started, I used the editor built into Neocities..... and that was a pain to double check every time you changed something

Live replay? THAT'S A THING?!?!? omg I was working with Neocities' editor on 2 tabs and my site on another, switching between them. Well at least now I have a reason to try out vsc

@dagio-lol yes! bcuz of this I was using tumblr's live editor for custom pages for the longest time, but vsc has a a few plug-ins for live preview! currently I use live preview by microsoft, plz do try it!

I assure you, there has been a substantial update, the site preview just has yet to refresh! I'm quite excited for when it does :)

"the #main section also previously had "margin-left" as -8px for some reason" this is so relatable tbh

It feels good to clean up websites, you're not alone when you're not feeling up to it, but I really like how you're rearranging everything

@faintlymacabre haha, sometimes I feel like coding is hoping for the best, and if it doesn't work out, you slowly tweak it until it *does* work, and then never touch it again so to not break it

@radicalblur thank you! I'm thankful for how many ppl have seen my site evolve, and that we're all on our own similar journeys <3

(whistful sigh) both feelings of wanting to entirely recode my main page bcuz trying new things might inspire me, but also disliking the idea of change and not feeling enough creative drive rn (art block? coder's block?)

Just came across your site, it's a really nice design! Just so you know, there's a broken p tag hanging out in the 'The Land of the Sky' part of the OVA page

wackyworkbench will be 8 yrs old in 2025! although I barely updated the website back then (and it had a different site name entirely!) I'm still happy looking back at how much more I've worked on the website this year in 2024 :3 let's all continue to work hard together!

@satyrwoud yeah, I know I had stardustspeedway at some point, and then another username before that but I'm glad I finally settled on the one I have since it was free on a few other sites too!

@wackyworkbench I was `batavia`, then `[my real ass name]`, then [real first name].uk, and finally switched to satyrs.eu, lol

The problem with being trans and trying out names on the internet is that eventually that’s going to become your “real” name and you have to pretend it never happened for privacy's sake
