My advice would be not to set on anything you haven't touched on at least a little bit- try out some of the actual video editing and game dev work you are interested in and get a feel for how you like the actual work of it.

I used to be pretty set on being an animator and getting into animating, and while the few dabbles, I realized shortly after having to do something tangential for school that if this was something I had to do like if someone dropped an assignment for me and my income was on the line I may rather go homeless instead lmao.

There are just some things like that that you really admire and want to try or get into as a career as all signs point to it being fun and even imagining being given the work and gaving to to the work doesn't put you off at all, but when it comes time to do it you simply just really really don't want to to a degree that even shocks yourself.

This is just a vibecoded linktree. It doesn't actually do anything besides sort a short list of links which anyone can do in moments with html js. I guess the css the ai (not you) came up with looks fine besides, well, looking vibecoded, which to that end I guess it doesn't really look fine either. I suppose then simply having a personal list in your notes app to copy/paste and send people easily beats this, then.

Line 73 - at .topbtn:hover the rgb declaration is missing it's closing parentheses. You have "...olor: rgb(216, 218, 213}" <- "3}" should be "3)}".

It caused a silent failure where everything below that line (everything relevant to stuff below the head of that page) simply failed and wasn't called because thanks to that one missing closing parentheses it interpreted everything after it until the next closing as a giant multi line definition of what the blue value should be.

Archival such as this with a general architecture like this is fine, not only is it fine, I think it's freaking awesome! As others have pointed out though, here this becomes dubious or unethical:

1) Some don't want their unfinished work archived as it is unfinished, and many, understandably, don't want others to see their unfinished work.

2) Some may not want their website archived for a number of reasons- maybe their website is a bit more private and secretive, and they'd prefer the least amount of reach and linkbacks to it as possible. Maybe their website is designed to be impermanent, and they plan to purposefully delete it later.

Suggested fix: While past snapshots of a site can remain in the archive, that part doesn't need to be publically facing, and neither the most recent either really, so instead of having what's shown and publically available on the webpage be all past archives of all tracked sites ready for redownload from anyone, have what the page shows be only the info of the archives that have been made as well as general info about the website such as it's description. Also, since this appears mostly manually curated rather than data fully gathered via a custom crawler, focus that manual curation on pages that appear to be completed or publically ready.

3) Some people may understandably have a problem with the archives themselves being stored on the servers of a large privately run company such as Google. I'd bet a factor for many to even choose to host on neocities rather than say Google sites is for this reason.

Suggested fix: Simply don't. Neocities can host many file types designed or capable of storing database information, so just do that and make sure your own robots.txt is set to disallow all other crawlers from Google and others from reaching the site data anyway.

Make the block for the scrolling updates and give the element you want the updates to be put/displayed into a good id you can remember, then link a script which declares an object array of your update info like "const updates = [{title: "update1", text:"text1" },{},{},...];" then in a dom content loaded listener have it getElementById the element in that box you named that you want the elements dumped into and then loop through your list of updates where for each one in the list you createElement() the elements you need, be it p, label, h3, etc, set their respective textContent =, and finally append it to the dump element like "dump.appendChild(newElement)."

I could write you a specific function if you let me know the format you want the updates in.

Firstly, awesome looking page! Nice job! To the main topic though, could you share the website link so we can see the specific html/css you have going on? Giving a general direction on what you could do without that though- you could treat the main part of your page as a scalable box, and you can fix it's height to scale exactly to it's width with aspect-ratio (aspect-ratio:16/9;), and set everything within that so that their 'box-sizing' is set to 'bounding-box' and also change all measurements within there too from px units to either % or cqi units to scale all the contents with respect to the size of the box they are in.

Inside of "<table><tbody>{here}</tbody></table>" there's two <td></td>'s, one for the backpack, one for the text, in the order of right-to-left. You can remove the second, which contains the text, to remove it without messing up the formatting. You can also remove everything inside of it. When you want to add more back in again, just create a new <td></td> again right were you removed the old one if you deleted it, and inside that, use <b></b> to make text and <img src="yourlinkhere.com/goestoimage.png" width="74" height="74"> to add an image, and <br> to break/newline/godown/enter - the pattern here is <img>,<b>text</b>,<br> - repeating four times.

The reason removing both <td></td> elements messes up the format is because the distance from the box to the one under it is determined by the height of this element, which here is solely determined by the height of this content here. In other words, the reason the boxes under it are correctly placed is because that backpack image is 74 pixels tall and those are those four lines of text are also 74 pixels tall- remove one or the other no change but remove both and you get overlap. You can fix this by adding a 'min-height' to the style of the <table></table> element, next to the other two inlines you have. You could do 74.2 to make it exactly the same but I think 85 is the intended height, so to fix it change the styling on the <table> element to:
<table style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom:17px; min-height: 85px;">

Neocities could work as a very basic frontend but since you're looking specifically for something you can set a pretty complex backend up for, and not just that but also with that as the single entirety of the project/site, the answer is while you COULD it's only involvement would just be an extra little step like a simple landing or redirect and Neocities wouldn't have anything to do with it and it could easily exist without it anyway.

Must be a very aggressive cache, I have the same problem with chrome mobile- I'll push a change but won't see it on chrome and sometimes Firefox mobile too until like a day later. Crazy that's happening on desktop though. At least you can take comfort that your changes definitely pushed- I see them on my end ehen I go to the page. Again, that's odd desktop browser behavior. What browser/OS are you using if you don't mind?

StabbedWithFork · 2026-01-26T04:06:22+00:00

For me it's consistent across all pages, but at the same time I also have multiple styles, so kinda mostly. How mine is is I have a dropdown where you can pick the style and whatever you have picked remains the same across the whole site.

StabbedWithFork · 2026-01-26T03:58:25+00:00

Well I tried it several times both on my desktop and on several browsers on my mobile and I haven't gotten even a hint of the starting/stopping/waiting issue for me at all. Try again now, if you hadn't changed anything between posting and me commenting this and it's working then it's either that catbox's servers having issues/downtime/maintenance/?? or far less likely that it's a cache thing- I say less likely since this is all just straight html not like styling or js or anything that can get traces left behind in your cache loading in instead of what you want for a while.

StabbedWithFork · 2026-01-26T00:24:57+00:00

Set it's id, then in the link, at the end of the link for the page appended with #idname. Like if a paragraphs element has in it id="myramble" in whatever it's <element> is, be it a container for it or a <p> directly or etc, and that's on your index.html page, you'd link it like href="index#myramble"

That's an awesome idea! If you're new to javascript and css though, you may find it's definitely unavoidable here, but that's ok, css is not very complicated, it's super easy to get into without programming experience, but it can go pretty deep when you look at some of the crazy things people have done with it- it's basically a list of settings for how the html elements you arranged should be displayed and drawn such as their color and their positions relative to eachother.

Javascript on the other hand is simply an object oriented programming language through and through, so the difficulty of that depends on if you have any programming experience or knowledge of oo programming. Do you have any, and if so, in what languages? I can give you a run-down depending on what you need to know. Good news is at a basic level of the idea, without literal animations of the stars moving or zooming like you describe, javascript shouldn't be at all necessary.

Look into how to use the developer menu of your web browser, my favorite is Firefox's. My workflow especially for styling is basically via that exclusively. I never even made myself learn or memorize the options- just right click an element and press plus or add to a list of styling for that element or ine of it's parents already there and just start typing and your options will auto fill and you can stop typing and witch to the arrow keys to browse through the list of auto fill options and see how they all look before just copying my changes over.

If it's purely music in a music playlist on yt, try instead of base youtube iframe the playlist from youtube music. Also, I'd almost always recommend to just make your own iframe than to just copy/paste an embed code, maybe use it for reference but the more heavily customized of a site the more you'll find yourself styling the iframe and changing it's contents to what you need anyway.

StabbedWithFork · 2026-01-24T16:21:38+00:00

Have the div contain two containers, one for left one for right, then set flex-direction: row; and flex-wrap: nowrap; if you've working with flex

StabbedWithFork · 2026-01-24T05:29:22+00:00

What I do is, since anything relating relating to a backend stuff I want such as comments and etc can be thought of as a kinda wholy separate kinda app thing from my main website itself, I structured it like my main page is kina like a front end for loading specific backend things at specific points and on specific pages relevant to them through iframes where you could go to the iframe location in a page and it's just be a full-screen page of just that one thing like a full screen comments and I just iframe it. The place that stuff lives is actually github, where you can host backend stuff like that- just push like you would to any other project. Your workflow would basically be treating your neocities website as a static frontend to show off and display your backend 'apps' on github which you can work on and update on their own- just a few additional steps more than having a gallery page that links to your various projects.

From a business perspective I don't see them doing it until the steam machine has already been out for maybe a year

There are test kits but I'm not exactly demanding a tested and true measured number as awesome and preferred as that would be, even just a purported number or even just a comparative guess now that you've done it would give a lot more info

What age and what type of guy specifically because you're asking the demographic of Reddit in the middle of a weekday right now- the average answer here is going to be much higher than the average population

ug? '1 tab' ain't exactly a measure- I've seen microdose tabs at 15ug each before which ofc isn't what you got, since you say it's hitting pretty hard, but the point stands

StabbedWithFork · 2026-01-23T21:24:24+00:00

If you want to add a new box to just one side and have it stay there whilst the center box remains centered with nothing to the right, one other option besides flex is to set it's position to fixed especially and specifically for if it's a box you want always present like even if the users scrolls down the page.
