title: "site changes and other updates" description: "some small changes to devins.page, and other stuff" pubDate: 2025-09-20 categories: ["meta"]#

i made a couple changes to the website:

• 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, im 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.
