I should work on it more before showing it off, but I can’t wait any longer lol.
What do you think of it so far?
This is still a prototype mind you and I’m still working on the aesthetics, but what we have so far is that every essay will automatically be transcluded on this page, ordered from newest to oldest.
edit: there’s now pictures to illustrate the essays
My big question I think is: is this more conducive to reading and getting clicks than the legacy page? (https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:Essays).
Secondly, does this look pretty self-explanatory to you? There are only two essays in it mind you because it’s still a prototype, but we have more than 20-30 to put on this page eventually.
What more would you see to spice this page up? And maybe drive the blog style home a little bit more.
Collapsible menus is a great idea but not great to implement because it requires javascript. Well, it seems to be the only option anyway so I’ll probably get to it lol
Can’t a similar mechanism from the hamburger menus be used instead? I don’t remember how those are made, but they work in the ProleWiki even with JavaScript disabled, so that may be an option.
You can make them work with an input field (or even the display tag now, which is quite new) but Mediawiki doesn’t support all HTML tags, and input is one of them.
