Reddit was (still is?) considered as the “front page of the Internet” for over a decade. It’s likely we all need time to unlearn the habits we picked up from Reddit. I know I still have that habit of refraining from commenting in certain threads because I don’t want to potentially get bitched at.

I do wonder if a forum-based UI would help promote the kind of community you’re looking for. Some people have suggested that text-only posts might help encourage more discussions and that is essentially what the forums are like. If you want to link to something for context, that just goes into the body text, rather than have the content show up first and foremost. That said, I don’t think Beehaw is interested in switching to a forum-based UI. I could be wrong though.

That being said, CSS frameworks are still wonderful, used right they can save a lot of time during early development by outsourcing the majority of design to the framework devs.

That’s actually my intent with using a CSS framework. A personal project of mine reached minimum viable product statud status (phones…) recently, I included bulma, and used some of its components for stuff like menus and modals. It was definitely faster than writing everything by hand early on. But I also ended up writing my own CSS anyway, especially with the grid, which is the foundation on which my app works on (it’s a grid-based colour mixing app).

I agree, I think CSS frameworks have a place for prototyping and we shouldn’t rely on them as a project moves towards a proper release 🤔

Then again, some people might think the obfuscation in 20+ classes is somehow a good thing…frankly, I think it’s worse than inline styles. It’s basically obfuscated inline styles!

If you don’t mind me asking, why this scorekeeper? The fact that it isn’t open-source leaves me hesitant to dig around in the code.

Oh sweet! Thanks for posting this. I should’ve checked first 🤦

Until this gets implemented, have you tried using the mouse middle-click? At least on Firefox, it opens a link in a new tab.

I vaguely recall there being a setting to force all links to open in a new tab as well…I’ll edit this comment when I have a chance to look into it.

I’ve been doing a little bit of digging into lemmy-ui’s codebase. No promises, but I’m definitely curious about adding the feature now 🤔 I would like to just have links open in a new tab automatically, as well.

Edit 1: I’m a derp. I realized this is going to require a change in the backend too, in order to save the setting to your account on the server. So the more immediate fix is to either force all links to open in new tabs…or save the option client-side. Which means you’d have to make this change on every single browser you browse beehaw on.

Edit 2: According to luciole’s comment (https://beehaw.org/comment/666753), the feature was already added. Just gotta wait for the admins to upgrade the instance 😊

I can’t help but love when subreddits do this in response to the threat of removing mods if they stay private. I remember there were some that were posting “sexy” pics of John Oliver. iPhone was limited to posting “sexy” pics of Tim Cook. Working with what they have in order to continue their protests. I like it😁

It has malicious compliance written all over it 🙃

If the other suggestions feel too advanced and you really rather stick with an open-source engine/toolkit, perhaps give GDevelop a try? I haven’t used it myself so I can’t personally say if it’s actually any good.

It advertises a “no coding required” system, but from some quick peeks at their youtube tutorial videos (listed in their Learn page), it looks more like low-coding, but it doesn’t look too intense. It might be beginner-friendly enough to get you started. Once you accrue more skills and confidence, then you’re free to pick up any other engines out there that might fit your goals better.

As for system requirement, apparently it just needs about 64-bit CPU and 1GB of RAM.

As for dreaming way too big, it is highly recommended you start with a small project. A “toy” rather than a full-on game. Gamedev is a multi-discipline field and how wide that covers depends on how complex your game is. There is a LOT to cover. Keep your feature scope small will help prevent the project from overwhelming you and scaring you away too early in your endeavours.

I hope that helps. Best of luck and have fun!

If people felt they can’t really escape an essential product from a shitty company because of cost, or even convenience, I’d understand.

I don’t know how exact the values need to be, but optically, the closest I could get to --result is with these values, still using color-mix:

color-mix(in srgb, #02C390, 79% #31363B)

It came out as #27544D

To be fair, my monitors are not colour calibrated so it might not even look like that on your screen or anyone else’s.

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you arrive at --result’s value?
