Notes on Web Development

Why is the Web Like This?

This is the most complicated website I've made, which means that I've discovered the wonderful world of compatibility issues.

You want to rotate an image? No problem! Just use the rotate attribute. Except on Neocities, where you need to use transform and a rotate function. And that only works on Chromium browsers. Which apparently VSCodium uses?

Also, my website is less mobile-friendly now. Which I'd like to avoid. It's not super mobile-unfriendly, though. It's still usable on a flip-phone.

My Design Philosophy

I only really have three main goals for this website. These aren't (all) normative

1. Be usable on (almost) any piece of technology. As a flip phone user, I have a lot of appreciation for websites that are like this
2. Be accessible. My previous websites have been fully accessible, and my hope is that this one will be too
3. Be efficient. Websites should run quickly and have a small carbon footprint
4. Be aesthetically pleasing. I want a fairly minimalist website that's easy on the eyes.
