Sites
In and outside sources i used
Magic Pattern - for the css background
Coolors - helps me figure out what combinations of colors i like as a palette
Eggramen: plenty of css templates for layout. Mine is based on busy generic at the moment. It was a great help to me to be able to learn how to code without having to figure out the overall template part. I love being able to focus on the details and on building styles that i like for now, and when and if i keep up with improving my coding skills, i might decide to build a layout from the ground up then. anyway, thanks again for the free ressources! very useful.
Coco's Pixel Safari!:a lot of graphic ressources to be browsed + part of a resource webrign. My favicon comes from their collection.
VS Code to help me see better. See, i'm not a young one anymore (i definitly am), my eyes can't take the constant squinting and trying to figure out which slash div goes with which div (that part is true) and i don't believe in making things more difficult than they need to be for difficulty's sake. I think there is a sweet spot in between a friction-less life (techno-fascist) and doing hard things as a way to beat yourself into control and power (mental health issues, ultimately, fascist as well). But i'll talk about that in my book.
Shared hobbies are double the fun!
Shout out to my friend and his site : Graine for answering all my coding questions and giving me the code for my active and hoovering links !
I feel like learning code from other sites is much more fun: you can look at something and be like oh wow i want to figure out how to do that. And then you have to actually go into the html and css and copy parts of it and figure out how to make it fit nicely into your own display, and what will and won't work etc... Anyway, here is a list of sites that i took some code ideas from.
