The Home Page

17/01/2025 I stopped using iFrames for the layout, i'm now using HTML again for the navigation, i figured out a way to keep the navbar music playing across different pages using cookies.

13/01/2025 Added some links and fixed some incorrect information in the Coding Tricks section. I also added a few of my artworks and sketchbook drawings that i didn't add before.

03/01/2025 Happy new year, everyone ! I'm taking a break from updating this site for an indeterminate amount of time, as I'm working on the Frutiger Aero Archive. So don't be surprised if I don't add your drawings in Sketchbook, I will, eventually.

09/12/2024 Added more drawings, and corrected typos from all over the site, there were a lot ! Also, Chrismas Theme.

09/11/2024 Made a new section called Coding Tricks, where I'm going to put some tips and tricks on coding that I've learned while making this website and other projects.

05/11/2024 Made the sketchbook section a lot cleaner, added titles, and fixed the broken form.

30/10/2024 Added many new songs to the navbar music player.

29/10/2024 I made an "Artworks" section where I showcase my drawings / digital art.

27/10/2024 The website is now a single page application (SPA), using iframes (because of the limitations of Neocities, I can't use a framework like React to do this), which means no more loading screens when changing page. To do this, I sadly had to remove the sitemap section, because it can't link to pages outside itself anymore. I also changed the navbar music player, there is now a playlist of songs, this is done with JavaScript.

19/10/2024 Added back the CRT Television section with the small TV, because i missed it. Also worked on my Frutiger Aero tribute a bit. Thanks for all your drawings that you guys sent me in the sketchbook ! I really appreciate it, and they're beautiful.

30/08/2024 I uploaded the Frutiger Archive on a new website instead of hosting it on this one, because it's going to be too big to just be a tribute page hosted here. You can follow it at this link ⧉. I also added a link to it on the navbar.

29/08/2024 Hello again ! Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been a bit busy. Anyway, I'm working on a Frutiger Aero Archive ⧉, feel free to take a look, I'm nowhere near done. I'm not sure yet if it's going to become its own website or if I'll keep it hosted on here. Thanks for the comments on the guestbook and all the people that sent me their drawings which look very cool.

09/07/2024 I added 177 buttons to the Miscellaneous section, and organized it better.

07/07/2024 I just noticed I accidentally removed the custom songs for each section, it was just one song playing, so that's fixed now. I also made the CRT TV better with power LED's and more 3D look with gradients.

05/07/2024 Changed the icons in the navbar to be more Kirby themed and cleaner.

04/07/2024 I decided to remove the old CRT section because I did not like having 2 of the same thing and I felt like it was not as good as the new one (previously called Realistic CRT, now CRT Television). But now that I got some space there, I will probably start working on new sections, I have some ideas already. Just need to get it done.

02/07/2024 Added back the sheep, but now you have to click the button in the navigation bar to spawn one (or multiple). I will also make the GIF section better soon, since I have not really changed it since I made it. Part 2: Improved the Realistic CRT page and fixed some bugs.

30/06/2024 Added the ability to pause the Kirby following the mouse by clicking on him, and added Esheep ⧉ because I find it entertaining. Part 2: I removed it because it didn't work properly on phones, but I might use it later, maybe. I added a link to my Neocities profile in the navbar in the form of a button.

27/06/2024 Remade my About Me section by adding / changing some text and added silly GIFs and images where there was nothing previously. Also added images elsewhere. Part 2: Greatly improved responsiveness on phones, the page now works in portrait mode except for some sections with huge content (Music Player, CRT TV, Sketchbook), it also looks good on 800x600 resolution now.

25/06/2024 I've set up a custom domain name, it changes from daniele63.neocities.org, to daniele63.com, but the old URL will still redirect to the new one. You can do this by buying a domain name with a service like Namecheap, then, you need to go to Neocities > Account settings > Manage Site Settings > Custom Domain, put your custom domain name there that you bought, and then add the "A record" and "AAAA record" in your domain name provider, usually the option is located in advanced DNS, also remove the default redirect if there's one. here's how on Namecheap ⧉. You can also look at how I've set it up here ⧉.

24/06/2024 I made the Sitemap section a lot nicer, adding descriptions of each links and a layout more in line with the rest of the website. Part 2: I added a lot of decorative buttons in the Miscellaneous section.

23/06/2024 Made each section have a unique music, I will maybe change them later, but I think it's pretty cool. Part 2: I added a view counter to the bottom of this page, you can do this using the Neocities API and a bit of JavaScript, you can find a tutorial here ⧉.

22/06/2024 Since I had to fix a lot of the CSS because of the sanitize.css thing, I took the opportunity to also make the rest of the CSS files less bloated and more organized. I don't know if this helps load speeds or not, but I saved 2 Kilobytes (did you know Super Mario Bros only weighs 31 Kilobytes ?). Do I have an obsession with optimization ? Maybe.

21/06/2024Previously, I had problems with my navbar and other elements having different heights in other browsers/devices. I finally fixed this by using this CSS library ⧉ that makes the CSS "reset" from the default values and basically be the same on every browser. I also fixed my Kirby Games section that was kind of glitched and had a lot of repeated code, i basically removed 500 lines of useless code in that CSS file.

19/06/2024I made a sitemap section (a list of all the links of my website). I also added text in site info and moved the "embed my button" thing to the Miscellaneous section.

18/06/2024I made a sidebar on the right, with different ads on it that I think look cool. Because of this, i also had to resize certain sections so that they stayed responsive, so the CRT and music player got a bit smaller. I also added buttons in the arcade section to toggle things on / off. Part 2: Improved the Arcade Games section by removing games that did not work and adding others (FNF, Tetris, Super Mario Bros), I also changed the way the buttons look and added a scan line filter on the iframe.

17/06/2024I changed the website logo and also added a music player to the navbar, with a song for each section. Part 2: I changed text around the website, added more, and so on. Maybe will do a blog section later ? I wonder. I don't have much to talk about, so I will think about it.

15/06/2024Made navbar more compact and changed almost all icons. I've changed my button a bit, feel free to update it if you have not hot linked.

14/06/2024Had to remove some Naruto songs in Music Player that didn't work anymore (that's an issue with embedding YouTube videos). I also added Ocarina of Time songs.

12/06/2024I greatly improved responsiveness across different sizes, the page should now stay in the middle even on a bigger screen. Part 2: You can now use my website and realistic CRT without JavaScript enabled, with some interactive features disabled, however. Part 3: I no longer hotlink any buttons (that is, having buttons images linked from people's websites, instead of being hosted on my own), I also added a bunch of new buttons and removed some that did not work anymore.

10/06/2024I made my page different HTML files instead of one as before because I noticed it was getting really slow to load and you basically had to download the whole website before being able to use it so, it's now divided in different files and also different CSS and JavaScript files. Because of that we lost the ability to hear the music player on other pages, but i think it's not that big of a deal.

09/06/2024Another Tribute Page, this time for WALL-E, my favorite animated movie from Pixar, took a few days to make and I don't really have time to make it look perfect at the moment, but I might improve it later.

04/06/2024I made a >Minecraft Tribute website, inspiration struck me at 4AM and I finished it the day after.

01/06/2024I made the website appear bigger as it should be (I was on 125% dpi before, and I changed to 100%).

26/05/2024Huge update! I made the website a bit more 90s (using normal fonts now), changed images here and there, and redid the Sketchbook section. You can now send pictures you made using the form, if I like them, I will display them in the gallery.

21/05/2024Improved responsiveness on different device sizes.

07/05/2024Since 123Guestbook is shutting down in July, I've made a new one with Smart Guestbook. Be sure to check it out and say hi ! You can still find the old one with the old messages archived in the Past Versions section of my website.

06/01/2024Improved the Television in CRT Television section, and made multiple sections adapt better to small resolutions.

23/08/2022Hi I'm back ! I haven't uploaded in a while because I was burnt-out with programming (or rather learning React.JS). It felt like a chore, not something I enjoyed.
So I took a break.
I took interest in Photography again and had a lot of fun photographing things. Now I want to go back to programming but turn it into my passion as well, not just something I want to learn to get a job someday.
Because you're only going to get good at something if you enjoy it. Thanks to everyone that supported me on Neocities and for the unbelievable amount of views, I'm truly grateful and humbled by it.
Let me know what you'd like to see on this website, I'm thinking of a making a blog, but I don't know if anyone cares. I'm kind of running out of ideas on what to add, haha. Anyway, thanks for all. Update 2: Compressed almost all the images on the website, which should load up faster now. Added a Monster Hunter Tri song.
