my original idea was some fun and kinda elegant template tag nonsense. but it doesn’t purretty purrint well at all and all the quoting is nasty
long, code
const htmlText = html(
{ lang: "en-X-catspeak" },
head(
title("*stares at you*"),
meta({ charset: "utf-8" }),
meta({
content: "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0",
name: "viewport",
}),
link({ href: "/style.css", rel: "stylesheet" }),
),
body(
article(
header(h1(a({ href: "/" }, "example.org"))),
main(
h1("*stares at you*"),
img({
src: "/img/whatever",
alt: "whatever",
title: "whatever",
}),
dl(
dt("description"),
dd("whatever"),
dt("artist"),
dd(a({ href: "https://example.org/" }, "kame_3")),
dt("source link"),
dd(
a({ href: "https://example.org/" }, "https://example.org/"),
" ",
a({ href: "https://example.org/" }, "[archived]"),
),
),
nav(
{ class: "controls" },
a({ href: "https://example.org/", class: "button" }, "next"),
a({ href: "/", class: "button" }, "back to gallery"),
),
),
),
),
);
imagine getting annoyed enough by your own code that you just reinvent s-expurressions but with extra steps so you can finally work with an API you can tolerate
ok i didn't want to make another begpost so soon, but here's a pool to raise money for this i guess https://paypal.com/pool/9oTciV3MHj
i set the goal to $6000 for now, that's my best guess as to how much it will cost to fix all the things they want us to fix. if it's too much it will help pay off debt from all of the other shit that has happened to us
