I think I've been frames-v2-pilled.
I mean, I already like and use frames, but... something else clicked into place for me as I've been following the frame project @huugo.eth is working on for A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander.
Now I can't stop thinking about project ideas using v2 frames to focus on writing-as-art-form: quotes of the day, editorial style guides, curated selections of essays or convos on a theme, etc.
So many ideas, so little free time to implement them.
But even if I did have time, it would be a stretch to call me a coder. I can handle basic HTML and CSS *maybe*, but I'm ill-prepared for anything else. (Yes, there's AI, but my skills are pretty basic there too).
I'm also starting a grant writing class in a few days, and that will take priority until mid-June. I don't expect to have time for any new side-projects for months.
What an inconvenient time to get nerd-sniped.
But I can't stop thinking about frame ideas! 2 replies

Follow-up: this video has been helpful! And also kind of funny, in some parts? Maybe not your intent, but your exclamations of "I hate programming!" and "programming sucks!" had me cracking up, if only out of empathy. I've experimented with HTML and CSS enough to know what it's like to spend hours working on something, only to discover that one single misplaced or omitted period messed up an entire website... lol.
I think if I were to use your template as a starting point I could probably spin up a frame eventually. It looks like it's within my ability to understand, if I take it slow. But doing it well would require a lot of patience, thought, and free time to focus... and free time to focus is what's in short supply for me.
I did receive offers of help from other casters, but coordinating that requires time and focus too.
So now I just have to decide if it's feasible for me to start a frame project at all, given my other commitments.
Anyway, that's my long-winded way of saying "thanks again, @jc4p!" 1 reply
