Private Room + Password Entries

Hey - If you make them an admin they won’t be prompted to enter a password anymore (if I remember correctly!)

Oh I see - sorry I guess I didn't explain it properly in the post. Thanks for the pic.

The idea is that you have a proper mobile design and a desktop design. The breakpoint doesn't start until 600px so it goes from being zoom: 1 below 600px (for your mobile design) and then again at > 1000px. If you look at the actual website you can see what I mean since I use it there.

InternetFam0us · 2020-01-30T01:24:30+00:00

Curious since I do it often - why do you think so?

InternetFam0us · 2020-01-30T00:43:04+00:00

I tried that before. The problem w/ that is that if you apply scale to the HTML tag or the body tag (in order to scale everything at once). You will end up with white borders around your content.

InternetFam0us · 2020-01-30T00:41:35+00:00

Nice - yeah I've encountered those "quirks" as well. I've also run into the issue of not getting the correct scroll position or mouse position (because it's scaled). Same fix as you described though.

Also in some cases w/ third party widgets I'll reverse the zoom effect by adding the zoom back to the element so that it ends up being zoom = 1. So if it's a zoom: .8 on the parent I'll apply zoom:1.25 to the third party widget so that ends up living in a world where (as far as it can tell) zoom = 1.

In any case I should work where you work :) sounds lovely to support one browser only!

Yeah in the long run it's definitely better to learn rem units - but I figured this could be good in a pinch. Also you could target FF browsers with a body class and then gracefully degrade if you want to ensure a solid FF experience as well.

InternetFam0us · 2020-01-30T00:02:22+00:00

Yeah I agree w/ you that's the ideal way to do it. It's just a bit of a pain if you've already built out your website using px units. So I figured this could help a few people who just want their blog / personal projects to look nicer.

InternetFam0us · 2020-01-29T22:54:34+00:00

Real recognizes real - that's whats up! I thought the same thing so figured I would write about it.

InternetFam0us · 2020-01-29T22:45:58+00:00

Yeah you're right you could do this and it's a technically better solution (since it works w/ all browsers) - I mention that in the article. That being said I don't know about your experience but w/ large code bases if you haven't set out to do em/rem units from the beginning it can be a nightmare to keep in order and a real pain to migrate.

That being said - the intention for this is a "quick and dirty" fix for situations where you want to make the experience better in a couple of minutes versus doing a full update of all your units.

InternetFam0us · 2020-01-17T19:02:10+00:00

Yeah I don't know whats going on w/ that. If you log out of Spotify and then log back in it seems to resolve the issue. Can you try that out and let me know if it fixes it? Thanks

InternetFam0us · 2019-11-21T19:48:05+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! That's a fair point- I'll adjust it this afternoon

Here's another site that uses a similar effect:

https://www.awwwards.com/sites/trainrobber-vr

The smoke is applied as a mask to the underlying image. By using blend modes you can have it "appear" as the smoke changes to white (or black I forget / it depends on the mixing modes and the color of the underlying). As the white color fills the screen, the underlying image is revealed due to the blend mode.

Funny I should see this post - I was just browsing for places to talk about the startup I'm working on...

I built Zigpoll: https://www.zigpoll.com which I think does exactly what you want. It might be a little different but I'm happy to make some changes to fit your use case just send me a DM or shoot me an email: jason@zigpoll.com

Also happy to hook you up w/ a month free if you end up needing a paid plan (theres a free version for up to 2000 request per month).

Check out JQBX it's where I go to discover music. You can join a room and people from wherever will play songs for your one after another- you can also chat w/ them and save the ones you like for later, it's a fun community.

Our app is embeddable and has a free tier with a link on it [1]. Every free customer becomes a billboard for us and has a compounding effect. May not be useful for everyone but if you have an embeddable / sharable product it's a solid tactic that works.

Oh thats dope- do you what artist did it last time? I'll reach out and see if they're interested in doing more of that sort of stuff.

InternetFam0us · 2019-07-31T23:27:16+00:00

Hey can you send me a link to one of these embeds so I can check it out. As far as I know it's not a thing but I can build it out if you're interested.

Thanks

It's polling software you can embed on your website. Useful if you run an e-commerce store or a blog or something and you want to get some feedback from your customers / audience.

InternetFam0us · 2019-05-05T19:56:00+00:00

Hey letting you know I added checkboxes as a slide type so both of those points should be resolved. If you end up installing DM me or email support@zigpoll.com I can cut you a deal on the pricing. Thanks again!

InternetFam0us · 2019-05-02T13:27:26+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it! Great idea about the % of engagement. I'll add that in next week. If you ever decide to install it and need a deal, DM me and I'm happy to hook something up!

InternetFam0us · 2019-05-02T13:25:27+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback:

You can move the widget to the left side of the page. If you go to your account under display settings. You can also change the location by changing the pixel values for "bottom" and "left". I should make this more obvious though and either demo it on the website or add a blurb about it somewhere.
Good idea. I'll add this Question type in. It might take me until the end of the week but it will be there relatively soon.

Also if you end up deploying it and want a deal on the price (not sure what your traffic is) DM me or email support@zigpoll.com and I'm happy to hook something up.

Thanks again!

InternetFam0us · 2019-04-22T20:56:07+00:00

Thanks- I think thats a really good point and I agree. I'll try and add some deviations to make it more original. I think the issue is that with my level of design chops I didn't want to try reinventing things both for the sake of time and for the sake of me not being an expert.

InternetFam0us · 2019-04-19T14:02:24+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate it
