New Digs
(Friday, September 22, 2023)
Yeah, the website looks pretty cool, but it’s a bit… um… incorrect. For one thing, I kind of made it about writing things when I really don’t love writing my thoughts out too much, especially for randos on the internet to see. I just get so self-conscious! Also, in terms of accessibility, it gets about an F minus. Besides the homepage (on a good day…) it’s not even really much of a show of my graphic design skills! I’ve become a much better developer, y’know.
So, what does this all mean? A complete revamp, of course! Expect toni.zone 2.0 to be fully deployed by October of 2023, and expect it to be:
More accessible
A less cryptic homepage that is less keyboard-centric and easier to use!
More semantics to make it easier to use with screen-readers!
Better SEO optimization to help people understand what they’re in for!
Better mobile design that I won’t just bullshit in five seconds ‘cuz I have to!
More performant
A new loading screen so you don’t have to sit through the disgusting naked loading process!
Self-hosted images because for some reason a lot of them are just on imgur… weird decision in hindsight!
More fun
More focused on art, music and HTML5 games
Relegation of text updates, both small and large, to a side feed
Easter eggs, because if you don’t like them, you’re a monster.
More beautiful
Quieter, nicer UI sounds
A more straightforward user experience with a more defined flow
A more consistent aesthetic, the details of which I’m going to leave a surprise for now!
Hopefully, toni.zone 2.0 will help streamline the process of outputting creative content to the site even further! Expect a lot more of it once it’s deployed! See you then, and enjoy the current layout while it’s still here! ♥
