WinnerWind chr0m4: re: max-width for blogs: im personally not a fan of the line wrapping thing that blogs do when the content gets too long. maybe its personal preference but i dont think that the width of a line should be capped (i can read them just fine?)
# WinnerWind anyway i made the images cap width https://x0.at/Kpky.png
# WinnerWind i really like the image with subtitle trick i did. basically i just wrapped the image and the subtitle in a singular div then cap its width (the child elements of the div are forced to be blocks)
# WinnerWind ((also ill be honest i can't figure out how to center the text if i set a max-width on it, haha))

chr0m4 WinnerWind: put another container wrapping it up, and add display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center (of course this new container must have full width, and the child as well)
# WinnerWind chr0m4: i found it easier to do a wrap then do display: block and margin: auto
# WinnerWind the downside of this method is that some child elements did end up breaking so i had to fix those a bit, but its way easier now
# chr0m4 WinnerWind: margin auto works too! I just do everything with grid/flex , when you’re debugging is easier to visualize in the dev tools
# WinnerWind sensible! the concept of flex containers, inline flex, blocks etc. are flying over my head right now so im just sticking to doing things wiht block containers

# WinnerWind going to put this out there: codable inline templates will reduce the amount of work you need to do. instead of having to write out the format for a line in the resume, just write a good template, call it with good syntax and you're in for a good time. Reusing templates has made it so that i just need to modify one file and keep every other file untouched in order to get things working.
# WinnerWind i have this 50 line template which takes the path to a folder and returns a formatted list of all the files in said folder for the static site, and it's incredibly useful. (there's also a flag to limit the number of entries shown) https://x0.at/ZKeN.png
# WinnerWind before I was literally typing every line out by hand

# [pcarrier] WinnerWind personally much faster at scanning text whose width is around 50 chars, 70 max
# WinnerWind [pcarrier]: fair enough! i personally find it impossible to scan text that is wrapped at 50-70 chars. I personally find longer lines to be more scannable

# dormouse_hours_59241 [edit] would love some feedback on my personal site! It used to be a super corporaty wix site but I am redesigning from scratch on my own terms now, with digital garden vibes, but hopefully a blog section too, to make it easier for people to find my longform articles.

# dormouse_hours_59241 I'm developing with Eleventy, which I am enjoying, but this is my first foray into JAMstack and the amount of new stuff to learn is breaking my brain. For some reason my template doesn't just dump all my .mds from source subfolders into the root output folder and I don't understand JSON enough to understand why, but that's a big thing on my list because currently I have to put everything in one folder in my

# chr0m4 look at me, redesigning my app and thinking about user flows without a single drop of AI, like a psychopath https://i.postimg.cc/2SChYnRw/image.png xDD
# chr0m4 IWDiscord: anything you didnt like from Elevently so far? Did you try jekyll in the past? Elevently makes me so curious
# WinnerWind chr0m4: just in case, IWDiscord is the name of the gateway used ont he indieweb and the users behind the messages are in the <carets> in the message body itself
# WinnerWind i know you didnt ask me but i tried 11ty and i didnt quite like it my main issue is that it runs Node.JS and as a result pulls in like 3GiB of modules to get started. I have a few more critiques but ill save it for later. What I do have to say is that after the initial few seconds of waiting for Node to initialize, 11ty is BLAZING fast. My SSG cannot compare (it takes 2 seconds to generate 50 files)

thatoddshade <dormouse_hours_59241>: wow I really like the look of your site! good job! I’m bookmarking it!
# thatoddshade WinnerWind: Eleventy running on Node.JS is such a bummeeer
# WinnerWind Wow! Just shaved off 900 milliseconds by using 4 lines of code in the Jinja and Templater plugins I wrote :)
# WinnerWind i didnt know Jinja could do bytecode caching. very useful!
# WinnerWind OK, tried doing multithreading fo my SSG again. this time i gave the SSG a very large dummy load (calculate 5000! 100 times) and I finally noticed a difference when using multithreading. Monothreaded the site renders in 5549ms (With jinja byte caching). Multi threaded the site renders in 900ms (with jinja byte caching). I think that means my SSG is now multi threaded :P
