site changes and other updates

9/20/2025meta

• Using system colors again, since I didn’t like the color scheme I came up with. I made a new beige color scheme that I quite like, so this will probably stick for a while
• Removed giscus comments since they were never really used and just adds bloat to the page. Maybe in the future I’ll make a simpler comments system. I’ve added it back, and mentioned it in the privacy page
• Redesigned the header to be a lot more simple, moved external links to the footer.
• Use serif fonts for headings, handwritten font for site title, just because I think it looks more pleasing.
• Removed clientrouter which gets rid of site transitions, I felt like it didn’t really fit well with this site and some browsers couldn’t handle it properly.
• Added back link underlines for accessibility

Besides that, I’m planning on maybe working on a few new projects in the coming months.

litedocs

I was working on a documentation theme for Astro, similar to Starlight. The main difference is that it will be far, far more lightweight and minimal (like this current site). I haven’t come up with a final name yet but I’ll probably just call it “litedocs” or something. Once that’s done, I may redesign the SkywardMC site to use that, so I can test it and make sure it works properly. It’ll include the necessary stuff such as site-wide search with the pagefind api, a customizable sidebar for nav and external links, and internationalization.

While working on this, I had to make a lot of changes to slight.css to make it work better. So, that may get a new major version aswell. It mainly includes some cleanup and new variables to work with.

If/when this project is released, I’ll make a post about it here. Maybe I’ll also work on similar projects, like a blog theme. Slight.css, this project, and other stuff like that will probably be in under it’s own organization.
