lemmy.abnormalbeings.space25/03/28: Beginnings of a unified design, new fancy (resource-hungry) landing page, money!!! and more - State of abnormalbeings.space - AbnormalLemmingsSo, a lot of visible things got done today, and I am at a point, where I think an update makes sense. Also, starting now, I will not create annoncement/update posts for every change, but bundle them in “State of the Website”-posts like this. BEGINNINGS OF A UNIFIED DESIGN As you may have noticed, the favicon, icon and banner for the instance have changed, and there are now links to the other two fediverse services in the sidebar: [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/699c895a-22c7-42b6-8e52-edd7874d3bbb.png] This is part of creating a more unified design for all three services and the website as a whole. You can also follow the links here: [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/af118d0e-8cd8-4876-a0a1-ed505a5d3e64.png]https://videos.abnormalbeings.space/ [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/77a09580-7dc7-4189-a9b9-059bbdf8bf23.png]https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/ [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/af427312-13fa-4cb8-9a59-51b5b50f619e.png]https://toots.abnormalbeings.space/ The one service lacking behind is mastodon - I have not yet been able to easily figure out a way to easily put images via Markdown or otherwise into the frontpage - but eventually, I will find a way. If you know how - feel free to answer the question here [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/post/578809], for me and any future people stumbling over Fediverse search results. As a long-term-goal, creating more unified theming with custom CSS along all three services is what I will be aiming for. That, however, is in the “one day, probably, maybe” phase of things at the moment. NEW CUSTOM PEERTUBE LANDING PAGE If you follow the link to the PeerTube instance co-hosted here [https://videos.abnormalbeings.space/home], you will see, that it no longer defaults to putting you into the “Browse Videos” tab - instead, there is now a custom landing page, with trending videos and recommended channels. There is no thought put into the order of channels, so, if your favourite is appearing further down, that is not me valuing it less. Some screenshots how it should look like: [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/060dbabb-ecbd-4035-8067-03dc7b0a47a8.png] [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/edfd4dbb-0d91-40d7-9bbb-3f4513e78175.png] NEW OVERALL LANDING PAGE (WARNING: NOT RESOURCE EFFICIENT) So, I am not good at CSS. Not good at HTML either. Really - not good at other programming languages, really, but maybe more adequate there. I had been wondering what best to use for a landing page when people visit abnormalbeings.space [https://abnormalbeings.space/] directly. Then I remembered: One tool I do have some experience with is Godot! So, behold, if you follow the link in the paragraph above, you should get a first version of a huge flashback to resource inefficient old flash sites (but in HTML5 and Godot, instead): [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/86829631-f6d1-4496-9869-036f78cb8a86.png] As of now, there has been no testing of, or optimization for, mobile clients. Also, the legal disclaimer section is empty, as of this post. Really, the landing page should only be reached if you look for it, or as a link in my games [https://abnormalhumanbeing.itch.io/] (where I will add them later this week, and in any new releases) Some optimizations should follow eventually, but it isn’t the highest priority. MONEY!!! I’m trying not to beg too much and create pity-donations, but one reality of my life is, that I am living on subsistence-level disability payments, paying for this server out of pocket. Mind you, that is subsistence-level in a European country with a not-yet-completely-gutted social system, so I will survive, and the server will stay up indefinitely, and any and all of my services/games will always remain free to access. But any donations are of course always welcome, so I am really happy to announce, that the project got its first one: [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/63af536b-dc16-48ed-915f-01d0372ee6df.png] Thank you so very much! It is highly appreciated, and will keep me afloat a little more securely! Donations are only possible through Liberapay - I am genuinely not in this for the money, and I don’t want to ever lock features behind donation ranks like on Patreon, also, I am all-in on FOSS and the Fediverse. So other platforms will not be added any time soon. If you want to support me as well, I’d of course be very thankful, just click the link below: [https://liberapay.com/assets/widgets/donate.svg] https://liberapay.com/Wxnzxn/ Anyway, that is that for this update - thank you for reading, thank you for using the Fediverse, and here’s hoping you’ll have a great day!
