If you haven't noticed by the slight redesign of the site, it has been completely rewritten from the ground up!

I migrated the site from Astro to Nuxt 3, (moving to Vue in the process) and also moved from a database-driven system to a file based system. This doesn't mean much for you, the user, but it means that I can add new blogs and art quicker and without having to build giant systems to do so. (I super overengineered the last site, and it was a pain to work with.)

Nuxt is super cool and easy to use (if anyone cares), and I leaned towards it because I had been using Vue for Fridaylight.

Character Pages

The main characters page has been changed, and has these new fun cards which have a character image than kinda pops out at you.

Note

Most characters still don't have their assets for their pages (including icons!) created as of writing.

The individual character pages also have a new infobox design, if you care.

Art Galleries

The art galleries on both character pages and the main art page have been changed, with badges showing if they're a sketch or character art, and if they're pinned when not on the main art page. On the main art page, there's also a couple of filters, which will be expanded upon at some point.

Plenty of new art has been added, too! Check out the Art Archive to see it all.

Blog Posts and Art Pages

Both the blog posts and art pages have been redesigned, with a new layout that is more consistent and easier to read. The blog posts now support different authors.

That is about all for those pages lol.

Mobile Design

The navbar actually works on mobile now, featuring a hamburger menu!


Okay, I think that's all that's been changed. I hope you like some of the new stuff!!
