Roadmap

  1. Responsive menu based on W3 Schools code ✔️
  2. Ton of javascript stuff to try out.
  3. Dark mode switch or button.
  4. Image gallery more needed.
  5. Add animation to page loads and menu/hover effects.
  6. Add a class active to the main menu and style.
  7. Add image processing to ps_thumbs.html (shortcode for producing a group of thumbnails from a leaf branch.)
  8. Fix footer issue w Netlify logo. Temp fix was to replace the auto row height on grid-template-rows to minmax(7.5em, auto).
  9. Add dropdown list of links to main menu. But how???
  10. Search box - algolia free tier perhaps?
  11. delete unused shortcodes AND any instance of them.
  12. modify codepen shortcode, maybe have a width value. Figure out default values
  13. Fix rotating close button. Make it work better with chrome.
  14. Style tags, sort into an order, probably need own layout page. ✔️

This is a rough and ready web site I built for experimenting with but it ended up morphing into a kind of notetaking blog. It’s on the dark web meaning it’s not registered with Google so it’s not designed for visitors but I thought I’d write this just in case.

Tech

On the technical side the site is built with Hugo static site generator. The files are kept in a GitLab repo and it’s built and deployed by Netlify.

Design wise the site is built using a heavily modded version of the Blank theme by Vimux (hence the site title, Blank Try, which refers to the fact that this was trying out of the blank theme.)

This page

The page is, in Hugo parlence, a leaf bundle. This means in it’s pre-built state it has an index.md file in a folder along with other files listed below. Two of the files are markdown files and one of these is displayed on the right.

Page Resources....

This is the list of files (resources) that go with this page:

  • profile.webp
  • text.txt
  • more-words.md
  • about.md
