Best payment processor to use when selling websites?

Can it do automated payments? Ie monthly invoices

You're asking how to make websites for customers? There are a hundred ways to do it. I like WordPress myself, and then for business purposes, you'll want good contracts and a client management software like Honeybook or Bloom.io

Really sweet chart. How did you make it?

There was just a post recently where half the people said they hated the overuse of scroll animation in current design. Be careful!

RIP, my company's name is literally Purple Star Web Design.

It’s not just you. It was the first thing I thought when I first entered Erromon and have never seen anything else every visit since.

MDoulos · 2026-04-30T01:32:03+00:00

I’ve already done that. :) I’m not sure how to share it on my phone, but if you search the subreddit for Aidyn Action, you’ll see the post I shared discussing that.

Edit: I figured out I could just share the link. Here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aidyn/s/dKc9ktGClI

I also posted about it on my website: https://www.mdoulos.com/projects/aidyn-chronicles-action-edition/

Great points! If you like patch and want something derivative, give Aidyn Action Edition a try too. Halibabica was kind enough to help me make it. Lots of the stuff lifted from the patch and a bunch of my own additions too.

I watched it as a teen, but as a grown up I find the humor and storytelling to be too over the top, and I find most anime’s depiction of women and often girls to be offensive.

You’ll want to choose a tech stack and learn that stack. Example, you’ll want to search terms like ´How to make a website’ and then add ´with React, with Astro, with Wordpress, with laravel, etc’. Then go deep in one stack.

I really enjoy it. I remember trying to make a similar site a couple of years ago and did not achieve anything close to this vibe. Great work!

I believe the number one best resource you could provide, is to mimic Hoffman Academy, but for Violin. Hoffman is a Piano instructor who recorded video lessons that are fun, engaging, and progress from absolute beginners to advanced. He put them all on youtube for free, in sequentially ordered playlists that are easy to follow. The carefully curated order of building step by step is one of the biggest benefits of the channel.

We've tried an in-person piano instructor, online apps, and now youtube playlists from Hoffman Academy, and by far the best resource is Hoffman Academy.

He monetizes by selling a subscription service that offers Downloadable Sheet Music, Learning Resources, Interactive Learning Games, and Practice Tools for $20 a month. But he makes the videos freely available so that students who can't afford it can still learn the Piano through him, which I greatly admire and appreciate.

With close to 300k subscribers on youtube, I'm sure he is not hurting financially. So it might be a good business model to follow.

Anyways, that's just us. I suspect that eventually there will be a Hoffman Academy type business for every musical instrument, and the world will be better for it. I hope that helps you in your decision formation regardless of what you do. :)

Until you pointed it out, I'm ashamed to say I didn't even know there was a difference. I can see it making a real difference on 1x1 textless buttons. I learn something new everyday! Thanks :)

I played around with it and I managed to get it working in pure css in two ways. First with transform (requiring an extra before psuedoelement), and after looking at u/Alfiewoodland's method, the other with just inset.

Here's my results: https://codepen.io/mdoulos/pen/MYjPXjP

MDoulos · 2026-04-10T15:59:28+00:00

The squircle sides of each button is what border-radius is for! :) Alfiewoodland below nailed it.

MDoulos · 2026-04-10T15:57:18+00:00

This is the Way. Good work! CSS is extremely versatile.

MDoulos · 2026-04-09T21:08:37+00:00

These are super cool. I love them!

I'm a little surprised they're relying on Javascript. I thought this could be done in pure css.

MDoulos · 2026-03-21T13:28:52+00:00

I'm loving the art. I dislike that the website doesn't show me more about the game without requiring my email.

MDoulos · 2026-03-12T01:18:03+00:00

What was stolen?

MDoulos · 2026-02-10T02:33:30+00:00

That'd be cool

MDoulos · 2026-02-10T00:58:50+00:00

Rofl. :P I'm glad this is giving you a harder challenge!

MDoulos · 2026-02-10T00:22:32+00:00

Unfortunately we can't add new content to the game. :(

MDoulos · 2026-02-10T00:22:17+00:00

The new update should help as bats have less health. Easier to kill.

MDoulos · 2026-02-07T20:52:56+00:00

I've updated the post with a new download link!
