New Code: Genshin Profile

Posted 1 year, 10 months ago by Hukiolukio

ok I probably should have waited just a few minutes before uploading my last bulletin about retrospring and just added that to this bulletin. But I have a 2 second memory span and didn't think about that so here we are.

Link to Profile

I was going to make the profile compact and small by using tabs but then I realized.... I could just make it all one long strip and submit it for the May coder's challenge. And so I did.

The code is definitely bigger than my previous biggest one (mountains) in terms of lines of code. 1600 vs 2100. That's a lot of lines. I will most likely make a smaller Genshin profile in the future because man. this looks so big lmao.

Also, while making this I did come up with an idea for a Genshin-themed user profile so... look out for that soon(ish) hopefully.

made an retrospring account

ask me questions, or send me messages.... or something.

Ok, I'll be honest. When I first decide to hide everything and fix things up, I thought it would take maybe a week max. Obviously, that did not happen... as it took 2 months. It ended up being more work than I expected and, of course, I procrastinated a lot more than I should have. But that doesn't matter now, because I finally finished them!

So, what all did I do?

1. Tidied shit up.

Honestly, I hated editing my own codes. It was hard to find stuff and everything felt cluttered. So, the main thing I wanted to do with every single template was to pretty much clean them up. I added spacing between elements and added comments to help guide you where things are and where things should be added. This took the most time to do because I had to go through every single line of code of every single template and decide how I wanted to space them and how they should look. It was tedious. I wanted to cry sometimes. But it was worth it. And I help it proves helpful to those that use the templates.

2. A few minor changes to the templates.

I added new areas to some profiles, some got new spots for images, etc etc etc. Also, I made sure to add an "Artist Credit" spot for each image on the template since I think it's important for people to know who drew the art you are using on your profile. Of course, they could go into the character's gallery and find the credit there, but having it on the profile itself makes it much easier to see.

3. Some profiles are still hidden.

Why? Because they're ugly. I hate them. But I'm a hoarder and hate deleting stuff. So, instead, I want to pretty much completely change them until they look better. This will take more time, however, so these profiles are still hidden.

In case anyone wants to know which templates are hidden and being worked on: Boxed, Colorful, Document, Sectioned, Simple and Sliced.

4. Made a tutorial page

There's only 3 tutorials that I made so far, but I will probably add more later on. They are based on what I get asked for help with most of the time, and so I figured I might as well make something I can just link people to if they come to me asking for help on these 3 things.

5. Every profile has a custom color version.

I get so many!!!! questions about changing colors of my templates. But I've always been too lazy to make sure every template have a custom color version. Not anymore tho! Now each profile is either customizable by default or has a customizable version.

6. Added 2 new templates: Dropdown Profile and Gradient Use Profile

I say they're "new" but actually, they've been sitting collecting dust for a long time lmao. But they're finally available! And I also got ideas for new templates so hopefully I will find the motivation to make those soon.

I have kind of been running away from toyhou.se for a long while. I originally had a lot fun creating the templates and enjoyed seeing other people using them. But, it felt overwhelming when it came to actually interacting with people and answering people's questions and everything. However, I think I have improved on my anxiety towards social interaction this past year... so I'm hoping I can actually become active now and talk with people here.

AKA, I swear I will start replying to my inbox.

gonna try to update all my profiles

yeah so I made a ko-fi page

I might also start to try and do art commissions, although idk if anyone would pay for my mediocre art lol

Should I make "stylized" profiles?

Posted 3 years, 11 months ago by Hukiolukio

stylized profiles?

77 Votes yes
0 Votes no

Like profiles that look extremely cutesy or dark or have a witchy-feeling to it. Just like any type of theme.

I'll be honest, I used to dislike those types of profiles. They just never looked right to me. But just now I was looking through the html/css forums (which I often do because it's fun to look at the creative ideas people have and see new coders pop up). And uh I realized those profiles are so freaking cool like what the heck??? Now I feel like all of my profiles are lame and boring and I'm sad. I want to try and make a stylized profile with a bunch of pretty colors and images too but I'm scared lol. It'll probably look like trash.

Question: Do you guys like colored text or no?

Posted 3 years, 11 months ago by Hukiolukio

colored text or default black/white text?

24 Votes colored
19 Votes default black/white
15 Votes idc

Lately I've been making my profiles have the "primary" color for all of the text (paragraphs included) rather than it be left as default. I personally like it, but idk if you guys do. So I want to know if you guys like it or would rather me leave non-title text as the default black/white. (I say black/white since it depends on the theme you're using whether or not the text is black or white).

Although tbh if you don't like the text being the primary color, you could just remove the "text-primary" for that section and it would automatically go to the default black/white??? Idk, I just want some opinions lol

I do know colored text will be a problem when it comes to custom-colors. Because then people have freedom in what color they choose, and not everyone keeps in mind that some people have a lighter theme and some have a darker theme. But I don't think that colored text has a problem with visibility if it's the default theme colors?

2 new templates + looking for suggestions

Posted 3 years, 11 months ago by Hukiolukio

what do you like to have most in a profile?

15 Votes a lot of spots for information
12 Votes minimalism (a small amount of information)
9 Votes a lot of spots for images
1 Votes many, many, many paragraphs
1 Votes other (comment please)

So I realized I had 2 completely finished profile templates just sitting around. I honestly don't know why I made them available for public use before lol oops

But they're here now: Minimalist and Sweet

Honestly, I'll probably start using minimalist a lot for my characters since the majority of my characters have basically no information for them haha

Anyways, I feel like making more profile templates. I have a few ideas already but I also want to know if you guys want me to make anything specific?

I finished the DND profile template

Posted 3 years, 11 months ago by Hukiolukio

I thought that would take a lot more time considering it's been a while since I made a new template. but I finished it in less than a day lol. I didn't make a custom color version, but I might make one in the future (depends on how I feel). Anyways, have fun with it. I didn't make it to be used while in the middle of the campaign (because tbh who would want to mess with editing html in the middle of a campaign? that sounds very impractical) so I excluded some things such as current hp / used hit dice / etc. The template's purpose is just to give your DND characters a nice-looking profile on toyhou.se lol

Also I made sure to put the spell-casting stuff at the very bottom and separated from everything else because some characters don't have any spells. So you can easily remove them for those kinds of characters.

DND profile template?

Posted 3 years, 11 months ago by Hukiolukio

do you want a DND profile template?

42 Votes hell yeah
12 Votes sure
0 Votes idc
1 Votes nah

How would you guys feels about me making one? I had this idea in the past since I thought it would be practical for many people with DND characters on toyhou.se, but I ditched the idea since I hadn't played DND before and it wouldn't turn out right with me having no clue what anything means. But now I've started to play DND and would be able to actually made a HTML template for it (if I can even remember how to make a profile since it's been so long lol)
