Getting things ready to launch using 11ty. I've changed all the main nav buttons to link to separate pages (and moved the relevant content to separate pages) instead of just open tabs. That way this is trying less to be a SPA unnecessarily. For launch, I should only need a base template for index, about, blog, etc. and a blog-post template for blog/zine posts. Other than templating the header/nav/etc.

Fixed the theme button to just toggle between light and dark. Also fixed some colors of the text effects. Added horizontal lines under the tab titles, as the empty space on the screen was annoying me.

Back to this finally since taking a break after surgery. Decided to make the visuals a lot simpler. Might add the mushrooms back, but for now, keeping it minimal. Except for the coffee cup of course.

Figured out dark mode, and figured out how to switch between the two finally. I'm not 100% on the JS, but I'm just a noob with it mostly. Want to experiment with other themes, not just color schemes. Also trying to think of ways to simplify my page while still keeping it fun. Like maybe combining some of the pngs into one png so I'm not having to load a million images per theme.

Started on a dark mode. Right now it only triggers if the viewer has dark mode chosen in the operating system of their computer, but I hope to add a slider eventually. Need to update the down buttons for the dark mode.
Also updated the An Ze animation. Holy hell, my brain is fried. Wrote an entire JS function for it that seemed to be working, but the CSS wasn't working with it, and then eventually I found that I could just do it all via CSS. At least it's fixed.
Gonna call it a night now. I can work on more of my to-do list tomorrow.

So far, all I've done for mobile view is add media queries for smaller screens that change the layout of the main page and hide some of the background art. That includes An Ze, because as much as I love him he's not doing anything functional for the site, so might as well keep him a little treat for desktop/laptop users.
My thoughts are that I'll have to have a tablet view as well, just to keep things changing smoothly for responsive design.
