*shoulderbumps and snoot-mouths @leggylav, play-bows!*
@IceWolf *play-bows and boxes you*
@leggylav *...falls over?*
(what's boxing in this context? :3)
@IceWolf bapping at you with my paws rn
@leggylav oh!! *wags and baps back!*
@IceWolf i didn't even know you had a site, the terminal aesthetic rocks ^^
you should totally join my webring ehehehehe
@leggylav ooo webring sounds cool!!
And haha I DIDN'T have a site until last night! :3 Though we definitely had a bunch of other subdomains, I didn't have a personal landing page. (Ylf's had one for a while though!)
@IceWolf oh! well cool hehe, thanks for showing it off
@leggylav *SNORT* TRUE.
@leggylav I'm trying to learn React to put it on our resume and I can't even
1.7 MEGABYTES to display NOTHING. And it's so slow.
No wonder people hate webdev, they think that's normal.
@IceWolf crazy that like 1.7MB is like a large novels worth of text.
i'm all for creating like a cool multimedia experience on your site, but modern sites just seem to often load dozens of megabytes of garbage that could be implemented in a fraction of the size.
i'm no webdev though, so maybe i'm missing something.
@leggylav And I've got a cool multimedia experience™ in 2KB! :3
Granted, this was "unoptimized dev mode"... but if your JS needs special optimization for deployment you're probably doing it wrong.
@leggylav Hell, Wess is under 60K and *half of that is the wordlist*.
@IceWolf i don't have the lightest site but i haven't dabbled in JS cause i've mostly been able to do what i want without it.
i like my images though... i do try to keep them small and dithered though hehe
@leggylav *snort* yeah uh... my big avatar image on my page is a 300KB PNG straight out of the art folder >,,>
@leggylav (I'm like an audiophile but for images... *plop* here have FULL LOSSLESS QUALITY art of me >,,>)
@IceWolf my photobook is about 240 it seems, i use compressed thumbnails then just link to the full res if you click
@leggylav Our @GatlingFox uses that in his reference picture gallery! [https://gatlingfox.brightfur.net/referencepics, I don't think he has a landing page]
Maybe I should do that on my homepage. I worry I'd mess up the CSS, haha!
@IceWolf i think 2k is a pretty modest sum when considering the state of the modern web
