thank you for the new thread nonnie! I love the threadpic lol

what’s everyone’s pet peeves when it comes to sites on the indie web? the obvious answer is already zoomer manifestos about copying & virtue signalling about trannies and palestine, but I’m curious to know what other (and generally harmless) things you all find annoying in these spaces

>Do not use this ring as an excuse to witchhunt
and yet, it's users seem it fit to bother people who aren't in it. these people do no favors to their cause.
this is a similar sort of slacktivism as filling your tumblr feed with fake palestine stories looking to fleece retards out of money. it only makes people fatigued.

Accessibility spergs who get on you for not having a mobile-friendly or disability-friendly layout.

Pastel coloured text on top of a white background I can't see SHIT

autoplay, vhs/tv filter, images covering text/scrollbars without the pointer-event turned off so you cant even click/scroll the text lmao

i've known the person who made this ring. she's friends with some of the most annoying retards ever kek.

anyways i guess one thing i fucking hate on people's sites is this gaudy ass adbox. 99% of the time it links to a nothingburger site and the ads won't even fit with the site's theming. i'm also just tired of pastel colored sites. a bunch of nonas talked about it before but there's way too fucking many of them.

>Iframes
now before you kill me, I don’t mind iframes as they are. the problem is, people make websites based entirely on one iframe which is fine, but then there is no navigation back or forward. please nonas, this is hard to use.
I urge, no, BESEECH people to make buttons that on click trigger “history.back()” in the iframe, or just make the container you want to update with new content in JavaScript so you have access to AJAX and can go back and forward using the browser buttons without changing the page. I know this is less desirable because it’s harder but it is worth it if you’re getting into building a more polished website or single page app

I am bedridden and i need sites to read. Do you nonnies have any recs? i am loving traveling healer's blogs, she sounds very sweet albeit a bit crazy.

Iframes are kinda lame tho. Especially when its just one page with a iframe holder, thats so boring. I guess its fine if you arent very creatively-inclined but seeing all the uniquely designed pages on a website is like half the fun

They have their uses when you want to embed something from another site or like in the case of sozai sites, you might have no need to have each category of pixel art be on a different page. But yes, each page being the same layout is boring, I agree. Even if you want to retain some sort of aesthetic identity with your website, you can still switch it up time to time and not rely solely on the 3 column +banner combo

cabbagesorter is my favorite review site if you're into reviews on like anime and shit. she's my main inspiration for making a game review page on my site. annehero's blog is also good if you're fine with reading the blog of a tranny supporter.
