Ferrox: notes
17 years ago
I guess these are done, or at least equivalent to what we have now. Mostly.
The following are some screenshots. Some notes on design:
1. This is not the default theme; the default theme is more or less a copy of the one we have now. I just happen to be unable to stand it, so I made a simple replacement. I am far from being a design master, due to not actually being any sort of artist. I don't know if this will be final, or if I'll revisit it again; it was meant to be inspired by the current design, but I'm wondering now if it's too boring. Either way, it will be the style I will probably focus on more, as (a) it is a lot cleaner and (b) since it's not the default, I didn't bother with any CSS hacks. Zero. This means it doesn't work in any version of IE. In fact, since I used inline-block, it doesn't even work in Firefox 2.
2. I am using Firefox 3. Obviously.
3. The pinkish outlines are just reminders of dummy data that needs replacing.
4. The ads floating in the bottom right are just.. chilling. I don't know what to do with them yet.
5. bbcode doesn't work yet; it is almost ready to drop in, though, I think.
6. I am heavily abusing Tango icons. I love Tango.
7. I borrowed a dummy fox icon from Rose Quoll to use in here, because apparently I have this driving urge to copy tiny features of LiveJournal. Whether it survives is still kinda up in the air.
8. Look! Shiny new favicon!
9. Timer bar at the bottom doesn't work yet.
10. Okay, well, I could ramble forever about the bloody theme; screenshots, right, right.

Viewing a note -- the idea was to rip off gmail's threading, but I don't know how well I succeeded here since I don't actually use gmail; collapsed notes load inline and fallback without javascript

Nothing spectacular, I suppose, but I figured FA deserved some screenshots.
net-cat is, apparently, making inroads of some sort on tagging. I'm not sure what I will do next; perhaps fleshing out galleries.

FA+

It's working, just not efficiently. (Needs moar JOIN and less GROUP BY ... HAVING.)
*will post when it's "done"*
Those red borders are just debugging elements set by the browser, right? Right? D:
