A good friend warned me that while coding this website, I would have to encounter javascript. I called his bluff. It was a bad call.

The sudden lull in the updates of this site isn't out of procrastination. It was the time when school picked up and I had to prepare for midterms. On top of that, I wanted to figure out how to tackle the art page. There were some options. One, replicate the way my art on carrd would be presented. That would take a lot of time learning and picking up modals and javascript. Two, just hyperlink the art tab to the carrd or cara. But that just defeats the purpose of coding this whole site wouldnt it? Or three, present the art by coding one page per art. That would just be tedious and repetitive, but the easiest.

Look, I wanted a challenge,,,

The plan was simple. The art page would be this collection of drawings all laid out. When someone clicks on it, a modal would pop-out showing the art and its details. I drew up some quick function that I learned from a single youtube video and managed to get one modal to pop out when clicking an image. Then I added two images and I didn't seem to get it working. So it stopped there. Then came a friend of mine who drew up a whole function and that kept the ball rolling. (Shoutout to PF, for the code! Now I will never come out of the hole!)

Eight sets of modals later and there we go! A beta version of the art page. Its still a test to see if everything works. So far there are only eight artworks posted. Better start small! There tends to be some changes when I import code from notepad++ to neocities. So before going on a large scale update, I'd rather put everything piece-by-piece. It makes working on mistakes faster and allows me to learn from them. Trial and error! Here's the link to try it out!

If anything is still broken, please do let me know! If none, then I'll be able to add more soon :>

So. You may have noticed...

Thats a lot of features and photos and graphics. I've been bitten by the bug of analog futurism that I think small gifs of it would make this place look cool. Surprisingly, its a struggle trying to get a hold of imgs and sizinng them properly. I've still got a lot to go before I can call this website done.

There's a new coat of paint though! Decided to stop fiddling around without a color pallette and just find one and use it. The colors are less dead now! Maybe incoherent? Yea... But its a good place to start.

Its safe to say however that neocities has taken over my life. Can't say how this will fit in the ecosystem of social media apps that I've built along the years. For such a creative exercise, I've been having so much fun having this little corner of the net. I can't wait to finally show this off to everyone (unless, they found this first!)
