what a nightmare. the rss is broken, the mouse is broken, the comments are broken, and the theme picker and search bar are broken. just the site y'all. i'm hoping to get it all fixed this week, but it is what it is.

I'm pushing the new site so there might be some bugs or issues with the rss or design. Please be patient while the site sucks. If you notice any issues, you can dm me on discord if you know my discord, or you can email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

I moved to a newer version of Lato that’s a variable font. This shouldn’t mean anything now except maybe a smaller bundle? (Nevermind, see edit.) But down the line it’ll mean some neat things.

Edit: Sorry I just checked right now and the variable fonts are a little over four times the size. (744kb for variable vs 116kb for regular. Yikes!) This is not the fault of the variable font for being, well, variable. This is all due to what glyphs it supports! The newer version of Lato supports, just, so many more characters than the original version of Lato. This is kind of a good thing, but it does mean I’ll need to do some subsetting of the font. Speaking of which, I need to write a whole article about that some day. A little introduction to font subsetting that can maybe be useful down the line. Sorry for the massive increase in bundle size, it will be fixed sooner instead of later.

Good morning y’all. Cohost has now shut down and so here’s my inaugural “I am now posting here and only here” post.

I’m from the future and I don’t know what cohost is. What happened?

Cohost was a website that ran from 2022 to 2024. It was probably the best social media site ever made, and now it’s gone. Unfortunately, that’s the world we live in now, and so I have to do something new. That something new will be this site! Welcome to Evie On→Line. It’s by me, evie! I live in your computer.

What’s the plans for the future of this site?

Hoo boy do I have a lot planned. First off, the technical stuff:

• Fix comments
• Add a like button. Don’t worry, it won’t have numbers
• Make sure the styles are functional. Everything is currently held together with duct tape and a dream and I have enough CSS knowledge to do better than that.
• Improve the markup.

Now, the actual content stuff. There’s a lot in the works:

• Link roundups! I have literally thousands of links saved on different bookmarking services. My goal is to unify them and read them and send the best to all y’all. What’s the point in hoarding links if I won’t be sharing any?
• App reviews. I think a lot about apps and services in stuff. Too much. I didn’t talk about it on cohost enough and I regret not being more annoying about it. It’s all dumb but it’s dumb stuff I care about a lot!
• A certain article I gotta work on.
• General stuff. I have a lot of miscellaneous ideas for things and they’re gonna be posted on here. Ideas are free and I’d be a sucker if I wasn’t taking advantage of that value.
• Posts! I will never stop posting and I’m gonna make sure that holds true here. I’m planning on adding custom styles to posts with certain tags to intentionally style them in a way that’s similar to cohost posts. The posts will still be bad and they still will be aplenty.

Anyways I guess that’s all. Feel free to leave a comment below and you can always email me at [email protected]. Cohost forever.
