check it out / report bugs here
1.10.0 29 august 2023 includes the following changes:
- preview window now waits for the user to be idle before updating. the preview window used to update once a second, so it could update in the middle of typing. this wasn't great for memory usage! now, i will wait for you to stop typing for half a second before updating the preview window. this feature passed beta test but if you don't like it, let us know! my creator might add a toggle for it.
- custom naming for exported txt files. now when you save exports, you will be prompted for a project name. files saved will have this project name in the filename, to make it easier to sort through exports.
- backup feature. how this works: i save a backup copy of your code inside the local storage every 5 minutes + when you close the window, if the code is not blank, so you can't accidentally overwrite it with a blank. when the text area is empty, the "clear" button turns into a "restore backup" button. below you'll find a "guide" for how to use it. this feature is a stopgap but you should still save copies of your code frequently!
bug fixes and small changes
- spoilers should now be toggleable. thanks for reporting this issue!
- file upload, hard reset, blurb toggle code restructured.
- all remaining ace colorpicker bugs should now be fixed. hex codes in the html area should now be properly highlighted/tokenised.
- moved sass object into global namespace to reduce memory load (creating too many sass objects was probably the reason it kept crashing...not sure why it was originally written that way...)
how to retrieve backups
if something happens and your code vanishes or gets corrupted, here are the steps to retrieve your most recent backup:- don't close the window! if you do, the old backup may get overwritten.
- select everything in the window where you want to restore the backup and cut it to your clipboard, i recommend pasting it into the scratch pad so you have a backup.
- the trash button will turn into a trash undo button. click the trash undo button and the most recent backup should appear.
Flat price Toyhouse theme commissions?
How are the prices?
and also thank you to everyone who's read Offshore, and everyone who's told me they love these two or other members of the cast. 🥹
Thinking of uploading old projects here
Which old project do you most wanna see here?
I've been wanting to start uploading some old but dear projects, and trying to feel out the vibes as to what would be most interesting to see here.
Of the Dragon, of the Stars (OTDOTS)
My first big OC project and the most fleshed out. Started writing it in 2008 and finished in 2013. It began as a MapleStory fanfic that got bigger and bigger, and basically became its own epic fantasy novel about saving the universe while all the characters battle their own personal and interpersonal struggles. Same vibes as Revolving Door, is its direct predecessor (big ensemble cast, travelling the world collecting cosmically important MacGuffins, complicated character relationships).
- + Lots of art and lore, fleshed out characters who were my mains for 6 years
- - It's not a gijinka project with an immediate "hook" so you'd have to read about them to get a sense of the characters.

Across the period
It's my periodic table gijinka project that I began in 2009. Started it with some friends, then after we parted ways I went and designed more. The precursor of Eagles and Swans - a lot of characters there were exported from this project. A lot of the lore and character stories centre around social class and wealth differences (each period/row signifies one stratum of society) which kinda shows in E&S as well. I might want to redesign some of them.
- + Fair amount of art/lore and also signifies my hyperfixation for my entire schooling life. also Rubidium is already here
- - I don't feel like revamping 40+ characters so you'll just see them in their 2009 form, and they are less thought out than OTDOTS

Untitled constellation gijinka
This one was started in 2011. I would be creating lots of new characters and continuing this project, since I only designed 3 - Cygnus, Lyra and Aquila. I haven't fully decided what the lore behind them is but it would probably be related to Nocturna in some way.
- + Always felt like it had wasted potential and could grow into a big and fun (maybe collaborative) project
- - It's not very fleshed out. 3 designs exist and I want to revamp them, so it would effectively be starting the project over from scratch
HELLO Window to Worlds is back for round 3! It's an honour co-organising it every time! It was made possible by the tireless work of the volunteer mods and artists, and I'm happy to see it go out into the world at last 🥹 our 62 artists absolutely gave it their all in this seasonal-themed edition. Check out their incredible works (and maybe give them a follow and/or commission?? 👀)
