Plans for Social Media Post Archive + CEP-Solid

ok this looks epic

EDIT: Changes should be live, again change cep-js in any link to cep-solid to see the test branch. Now includes:

  • Sections now fade in as they load, nothing relies on eachother
  • Random articles sort by views. Now includes no-content articles since there are some high-view ones people look at for their infobox content.
  • Links and citations now work

Still a TON to implement but I’m keeping it at a good pace, and some changes I’m backporting to the current site, like how views now show the :eye: icon instead

Today’s updates:

  • cep-js now fixed galleries to properly fill the width and not use pixel-sizing
  • Both: fixed tables to be inline
  • cep-solid cleaned up more CSS, footer and header now rendering, more infobox areas are rendering. Mobile infobox now fills the width.

Today’s updates:

  • Video articles are being reformatted and automated even more. The title will now be the actual video title, not the link. The link is now in a new “PageThumbnailLink” parameter, which I plan to incorporate into normal articles later so things like showtapes or other articles discussing video media have a more relevant infobox.
  • Video articles now automatically get their thumbnail downloaded alongside content.md becoming a downloaded transcript. This is for accessibility, not pinging YouTube too much, and saving even more parts of a video incase they get deleted. I don’t have the storage capacity to be locally saving all of the videos just yet so this is a good alternative.
  • cep-js
    • backported mobile css for infoboxes
    • fixed views not working
  • cep-solid
    • Random Articles now lets you also see random photos, videos, and reviews.
    • Thumbnails will now fallback to when articles have a photo.avif attached (which is wrong formatting, but better than no thumbnail, but also now works with how video articles auto-download a thumbnail).
    • Removed the minimum view requirement for random vids.

Latest update just merged about 3000 similar photos and videos, first time we’ve finally gotten rid of all the duplicate mess. That’s hopefully also added a lot more tags to preexisting stuff which further interconnects the site.

Morning updates for cep-solid:

  • The random articles now remember which tab you were on
  • CSS has been adjusted for photo and video cards. Videos now show the 16/9 thumbnail, and photos look like how they are in galleries.
  • Video pages now actually render the video, alongside transcripts being put inside a scroll container.

Today’s updates:

  • cep-solid has ported over the logo, search, and some form of a homepage. Still a lot of work to be done.
    • Homepage now features ‘official’ new YouTube uploads, alongside the newest fan videos. Eventually these will all be turned into tabs and the missing stuff added.
    • The randomization for articles is better since I was noticing a lot of repeats before.
  • video articles now feature an automated “videoChannelHandle”, which grabs handles so they can be parsed for the homepage.
  • Added a bunch of more videos, and that step is now included in the compile step so I can still push updates while continuing to import channels.
