@ardouglass that's a helpful tip!

@nsmsn super helpful! Thanks! 🙏

@Lukew thanks! 🙏

@ryan and yeah, definitely hadn't dialed in text contrast yet.

@ryan thanks! I felt it was on the border, but I don't have strong feelings about dark mode, so this helps me know I need to go darker.

@nsmsn yeah I was asking about the beige. Thanks!

📢 Calling all dark mode enthusiasts 🌚

For websites that offer a built-in dark mode, how dark is dark enough? Is it like as-black-as-my-soul dark, or would a darker shade color work?

For example, what about this bg color?

#HTML #CSS

I added edit-this-page links to the #HyperTemplates docs yesterday. I will very likely use this myself for making some docs edits from the browser (via GitHub). Super helpful for those times when you're away from your desk and you find a silly typo. 👌🏽

@makehypertext I do low-key love that at least one person has already bing-ed HyperTemplates, haha. 🔍

Here's some high-level stats from yesterdays (lowercase-L) launch of @makehypertext.

Overall it was a pretty quiet launch, which is OK! I was never expecting this to go viral. I'm just happy to have it out so I can start the real work of content marketing and building a community + business. 📈

I got a really helpful question on HN about #HyperTemplates vs #HTMX that nerd-sniped me into a long answer:

Ok, I was putting off the Switch 2 until I could finish up prep for the launch. Mario Kart is super fun!!

@mattly @makehypertext nice catch, thank you! Just fixed it. 🙏

@timbray I have caught myself doing this, then paused to correct myself, then shrugged and decided it's fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Phony Starks didn't want the branding he paid $44B for so maybe it's ok for the rest of us to adopt it elsewhere?

Someone already got hyperctl running on Android! 🤩

Just made my first-ever post on HN 🤯

The first major component of the @makehypertext movement is HyperTemplates – a pure-HTML templating engine and blazing fast static site generator. 🚀

https://hypertemplates.net/blog/introducing-hypertemplates/

You can build incredible modern websites with pure #HTML, #CSS, and #Javascript! No frameworks, no build tools, no sacrifices, and no nonsense (unless you're into those sorts of things). 😊

We hope you will give HyperTemplates a try, and we can't wait to see what you make with it! 📐

#MakeHyperText

@akahn nice! What other tools have you looked at using?

What if it was easier to post on your own website than on social media?

This is our first major product release @herdworks after 2+ years in stealth mode! 🎉 We'll have a lot more to say about this in the coming weeks and months. In the interim, we're looking forward to any and all feedback! 💬

Boosts are much appreciated to help us spread the word! 🙏
