How did you do (insert html/css query)?
⤷ w3schools and sometimes if I don't know I ask ChatGPT but I don't copy the code. Making your entire site using ChatGPT is frowned upon and also you're not learning that way!
Can I copy your code from the developer tools?
⤷ no.
Can I copy your Layout?
⤷ if im not using it then totally. you can see my old layouts in my archives
How did you learn to code?
⤷ Trial, error and asking ChatGPT when I didn’t know how to make something. *THIS SITE IS NOT AI GENERATED I USE AI AS A TOOL.
Can you make my website?
⤷ No, if you see anybody else’s site on the web with my assistance, they are my real life friends.
Where do you get your graphics?
⤷ Because I’m seriously untalented as fuck with pixel art/digital art in general I don’t make anything on my site by myself. I usually use Tumblr and find graphics on other people’s sites (linked in my credits page!)
Is your site mobile friendly?
⤷ From my experience viewing on my own phone, there’s nothing stopping mobile users from interacting with my site, it’s just not an enjoyable experience and the preferred method of viewing is on a desktop using safari/chrome.
what is the purpose of this site?
⤷ it's just a silly personal site i've made to pass the time, in the process, i really started enjoying css and html so I continued making content for this site and hopefully far into the future as well.
what inspired the theme of your site?
⤷ lovesick's site and also the fact that there isn't very many girly, personal spaces on the internet anymore. i know not many people will see this site due to the lack of an algorithm on neocities, but it's just nice to make a pink and vibrant space.
what projects are you working on?
⤷ i can't really answer this for the future but currently im working on a homepage and layout copier. i'm not sure if i'll get it done because i'm not feeling very motivated :(
miss-david?
⤷ miss-david is the name i chose for my tumblr and it's inspired by damiano david. i'm aware it should be mrs but too late now.
where can i contact you?
⤷ im not a very proactive member of the internet and i'm still wary of making online friends, but you can totally ask questions and speak to me in my guestbook, i check there everyday so i'll be sure to see your message!
are you working on any other web projects?
⤷ heartbyte it's just another personal site i made when i wasn't happy with miss-david and wanted a fresh start (identity crisis lol)
advice for other indie web developers:
⤷ the beginning is the hardest part. setting it up, figuring out how html and css work is difficult and takes a lot of time. however, i think we need more personal spaces outside of social media. far, far away from the corporate garbage shoved down our throats because entertainment and our friends are there.
⤷ the customisation is endless and you have control over what you want to see and what you want other people to see as well. it also creates this barrier (because it's so small and hard to communicate) from creeps and unwanted figures online.
⤷ these two reasons alone should be enough to at least get you started on why and what you should do with your site. you should at least try, then we can shove all the apps into one and call it "what's left" (lol)
