Congratulations! You have come here early!
(Still doing the initial set-up for the site, but thanks for stopping by! Please also come back later!)
Here's a little treat for being here so early: headshots of two of the main characters of one of Trajecient's forthcoming book projects:
Should also note I also have female main characters. It is just that I've only developed these two headshots so far.
Latest Update: Continuing the transition to having a more professional site than this Neocities one (please don't go there yet, there is only a bare bones Under Construction page).
Have made some very nice further progress. Besides the more basic login page and variants thereof to be made available for download, have also put together a more advanced, premium version that honestly is better than most login screens I've already seen. Tomorrow will be installing a multilingual plugin as it has been advised to install them with a fresh install or as close as possible to one. After that is in place will be close to actually setting up the relaunched site. Have been preparing some further blog entries to post as well.
Because MODX is mostly known amongst a circle of web developers and web designers rather than more generally, there isn't much awareness of it. When the revamped site is up and running I plan to be doing some blog posts about the experience. This will be of interest for two reasons.
Firstly, a lot of the MODX documentation (and indexed forum posts) are out-of-date. One example of that I found recently involved adding a 'same-site' setting on the PHP session cookie for improved security (this cookie is purely functional, by the way and so doesn't require a cookie consent notice). There was an outdated forum post from 2021 as, since then, this can be done directly via System Settings now, while in the past it involved changing a PHP file directly.
Also, a lot of the documentation that has screenshots is clearly using an older version with a different interface.
Second, a lot of the writing that is up-to-date on MODX tends to be kind of vague. The lack of more user-friendly, step-by-step documentation is partly due to the relatively small community of users and partly because a lot of those users are more experienced with web development and design and so don't need as much explanation.
Hypothetically could get onto Github and propose documentation changes myself, but official documentation needs a certain style, but a more 'blogging' style is of more use to people who might consider MODX but are less knowledgable about when development/design and so the language about ease-of-use and lack thereof where relevant is going to be more useful than a drier, more formal approach.
The favicons on the revamped site are all working now.
Main delays with content has been a combination of day job stuff and a need to take steps to protect artist's rights.
I'm also at Mastodon. This is here until I figure out if there's a better way to get the Mastodon validation to work.
Dream goal is to be able to eventually develop Trajecient into a kind of artists-for-artists publisher/organisation, to be fairer to creative folks and the wider public. But that's a long-term goal as I need to succeed in my own right first.
