v0.9.1 27 S it would make sense for the manual to be a separate document and not an interactive prompt, so I guess I'll do that

v0.9.1 27 S I'm not sure how much interactivity the website needs
S The current plan is to have it be like a command prompt with a bunch of pre-defined QUERY commands you can click on (but a non-interactive version, with all options & answers listed, is available)
Q Is this too much or would it be cool

S I think this would be fine for the main page but I'm unsure about how bad this would be as a manual format

like it has words and links to mentions of each word on the rest of the website, and nothing else

v0.9.0 71 M it's not quite R levels of cursed, but it's close —
S I decided to add lua scripting haphazardly to see if it's useful
C The only reason I decided to use lua was that it's designed for embedding and familiar to me
S Hopefully this is the last major update before I redo my manual into a multi-page thing — it's borderline unreadable now lol

v0.8.4 27 S if I want it to parse more natural-looking commands (e.g. INPUT hello world!) it's gonna be R levels of cursed
C (R is the most cursed language I've seen so far, I think)

71 C one thing I think I'll miss if I move off of neocities (or to a static site generator) is being able to edit my website anywhere just from my phone
Q is there some cursed setup that lets me do that, ideally with some sort of SSG?
S I'm thinking of some sort of web code editor + thing that tells the SSG to regenerate pages

v0.8.4 71 S once again being tempted by the idea of making a shell scripting language for sapient robots

S I'm thinking a lisp (because I'm lazy), plus functions in my manual, plus a few weird ones like eval-str which turns some sort of natural-language instruction into data (e.g. (eval-str "how many r's in 'strawberry'") => 2)

NEW MESSAGE:
71: Spontaneous
[Statement] this is what the most verbose version of my posts/messages look like as of v0.8, I think
[Statement] I do have ideas for how to make it longer (system stability, ability to load/unload modules, etc.) but that's gonna have to wait for v0.9/0.10

v0.8.0 71 S I just updated my manual, it's really long and complicated now; I need to separate it into multiple pages

I'll look into static site generators later, but for now I'll need to study for exams (and I'm waiting for the belgians to approve my new domain name anyway)

unless it's an actual family, I guess
