Given that I finally reached feature (or rather content) parity with my "recreate my website in a static site generator" project and just brought it live I might as well put it up for review:

* https://matrix.squirrel.rocks/
The used template can be found on Codeberg
(Although I still need to update the readme once I put in the last bits that I still want to get done)

Re: Website development (+ tech support)
personal websites are cool, i love them
i wish more folks had them!!! but i can sort of understand why most don't
my Neocities site was running on 11ty for a while buuuut. let's just say that hasn't been going great on anything maintenance-related (a lot of my "templates" were largely copy-pasted between each other which is Bad) and recently it has also been stuck in perfectionist hell
more recently i have been on a new host and tinkering on some Common Lisp, uh, siteware? not quite a blog, i mostly want to post art to it. (planning on doing that via Postybirb maybe?)
also wanting to experiment with such things as "email notifs for new works" because I Can Do Those Now.
anyway, most of my progress on the New Site is on https://ulhar.net/spintest/
which has most of the "document features" my old base had (including the sidetrims that Beeps helped me figure out) + some CSS additions from tonight (now most of the colors don't apply in Print mode, also Atkinson Hyperlegible by default...)

Re: Website development (+ tech support)
So, it's not quite a web *site*, but more of a web *app*, but I was sort of looking for design advice on my scheduling app.
This is a partial screenshot of the screen where you manage the events. It works sort of like an MS Outlook calendar where you can click and drag events around the grid. You can make all your changes, then click a save button at the top to save all your changes.
The event with the solid blue color is an unchanged event. Basically, the page loaded and you haven't touched it. The event with the stripes is one that has been changed. So it's been dragged around or otherwise modified. My goal is to use the stripes to indicate that it's an event that has unsaved changes. However, I'm not sure if that will be intuitive enough on its own for users to realize that's what it means. I also thought about having a sort of "legend" on the screen to explain it, but I feel like that might just clutter things. So I was wondering if anyone had design advice, aaaa
