Hi, I'm WackyIdeas, also known as simply Wacky. I originally created this website sometime around late 2023 as a learning exercise to expand my knowledge in web design. I decided it'd be fun to turn it into a blog.
While the range of topics this blog might host in the future is broad, you can expect the following topics to come up most frequently:
There are other topics I'd like to discuss in the future such as mathematics, music, crafting, electronics, cooking, etc., but I haven't come up with enough material worth writing down, and the process of formulating these topics into blogposts, in a way I'd be satisfied with, is not yet fully clear to me. In any case, I'd like to write about stuff I'm interested in.
The stuff I write on this blog is a collection of my own opinions and perspectives; as such, none of my posts should be blindly treated as fact. I get things wrong sometimes just like everyone else does, so in case that happens, I won't hesitate to correct myself. This blog serves to document my personal experiences, which may hopefully end up being useful to someone out there at some point in the future, or entertaining at the very least.
As of now, this entire website contains absolutely no JavaScript. Everything, including the dark mode and accessibility features, is implemented using HTML and CSS (and also Liquid to speed up the process of writing the HTML stuff). This choice was made both as a challenge to myself and also because I simply decided that this website doesn't need it.
In case anything other than HTML and CSS shows up on this website, it'll be purely for demonstrative purposes (such as WebGL/WASM demos, small JavaScript demos, etc.), and pages containing JavaScript and/or other technologies will be marked as such. The core functionality of this website will remain JavaScript-free.
This blog features both a light and dark mode option which can be toggled on the fly, either by clicking on the button in the corner or by pressing Alt+S (Chromium) or Alt+Shift+S (Firefox). Because this feature doesn't rely on JavaScript at all, toggling isn't persistent across pages. To mitigate this problem, the website automatically figures out your preferred mode based on your browser and OS settings (using prefers-color-scheme).
