Hai hai Lav, I dont remember if someone asked this or not so
What would you say are the best starting points for CSS? and what resources would you say are useful?
i would say to start with css as you would with any other coding language and learn the syntax and structure of how it works using websites like w3schools and mdn docs. even if you wont use all of the properties available on jai due to the sanitizer, both of these sites are very useful for references and provide clear explanations and examples (mdn docs is much more technical so not as newbie friendly but i do prefer it because it also includes browser compatibility and experimental properties as well that are fun to read into.)
many of the resources i used for jai when i started specifically are unfortunately outdated but i would recommend this css carrd made by my friends rae and puppy since its most up to date. other jai specific resources:
- Puppy's JAI Page Breakdown (list of class ids/labels for elements on the profile page)
- Puppy's Guide to Media Queries (a helpful reference on how to make your profile design responsive on pc and mobile)
for just general usefulness:
- CanIUse (a site that allows you to search up browser compatibility of specific properties to make sure your profile works on different browsers)
- Flexbox Froggy (helps with understanding how to use flexbox (when you apply display: flex; to an element), i loved this game and it made me better at understanding and creating html layouts)
- Considering the User Perspective and Contrast Checker (both are helpful for making sure your profile is accessible and readable because what's the point of having a pretty profile if nobody can use it?)
those are the ones i can remember off the top of my head so i hope they end up being helpful to you 💖
do people seriously have drama on this site
do you stan Jackson Wang? if so, how do you feel about his Twitter situation rn
i dont stan him but i do know him because of his legendary parties on wattpad and ao3 /silly. i havent seen too much about whats going on with him on twitter but from what i can tell, people need to realize their words and actions have consequences. im glad that hes standing up for himself cuz way too many people on twitter are way too comfortable saying vile shit about people that they would never say if they met them face to face (kpop stans are especially weird towards english speaking idols which is so... ugh). ive seen people saying that jackson is "doing too much" or is "too grown" to be acting like that but frankly i couldnt give a fuck about that because if hes the one thats doing too much, because if you think jackson is doing too much, shouldnt you also say that about the person provoking him? like to blame your shitty behavior on neurodivergence and even lie about committing su*cide over being called out just makes you a horrible person. all of this to say, jackson isnt in the wrong here and im glad he's standing up for himself.
what does the positions haters in your dni mean
now that ariana grande basically confirmed ag8 is around the corner i have to be reminded that arianators have the most atrocious takes on her discography ever especially dangerous woman stans. if you hate the positions album youre going to hell, and youre going to super hell if you hate that album AND HAVE TICKETS TO HER TOUR. (this is mostly unserious but sometimes i have to let the stan twitter demons out or i will just be wallowing in more misery)
Hai Lav :)
A little question, if you should open comms for profile css on jai again, are they still going to be free?
hm probably because honestly because i would feel pressured with paid comms. i might do paid templates in the future, but in terms of custom profiles ill keep those free since those give me more flexibility (i am unfortunately a major procrastinator so thats probably gonna turn people away but whatever 💔)
so ten left sm...
how are you coping with mark lee leaving nct
any new books you have read/have been reading recently?
i need to get back into reading stat omg. i finished reading the emily wilde trilogy and i just adore emily and wendell so much <3 im currently reading the poet empress by shen tao, im only like 20% of the way in so i dont really have any strong opinions on it (do read the trigger warnings tho before picking it up). i do plan on reading half his age by jennette mccurdy and agnes aubert's mystical cat shelter next ^^
