+title: December Update - v1.3.0
+date: 2025-12-15
+updates:
+- Major update
+---
+
+This update marks the last major update for the year 2025.
+
+I hope to write a blog post around New Year's Day detailing my progress in learning HTML and CSS, along with what I plan to do with this website in 2026.
+
+## Changes:
+
+- **Content:**
+  - **My author page has been removed & content will no longer list an author.** I had initially implemented this as I was improving the theme for it to be open-sourced, but I have since decided not go ahead with it.
+  - Updated [About](/about) page content
+  - **"About this site"** is now [About this website](/website-info)
+  - Removed GitHub and GitLab from "Contact"
+
+- **UI and UX:**
+  - Tweaked colour scheme
+  - Notes now have a nice drop shadow
+  - Removed view transitions due to limited browser support and stuttering
+  - Removed transparent header background
+  - Removed gradient variables in favour of manually adding gradients where needed
+  - Adjusted text sizing and margins
+  - The score numerator is now larger than the denominator
+  - Decreased left padding on lists
+  - Removed background colour and text colour fade transitions
+  - Changed search bar background colour
+  - Changed list item bullet point colour
+  - Removed mobile menu animations
+  - Footer links now stack vertically on smaller screens
+  - Adjusted the line height for mobile menu navigation links
+  - Removed external link arrow icons
+  - Removed Rybbit disclaimer from the footer
+  - Code text background is now brighter
+  - Reduced share section link icon size
+  - Footer text now has a fixed maximum width on smaller screens
+  - The home page now shows the latest post and latest review side-by-side once again
+  - Home page latest post and review titles are no longer a link
+  - Page authors are now displayed next to the date rather than below the description
+  - Fixed share section email content
+
+- **CSS:**
+  - Styles for links with icons have been greatly improved
+  - The pagination buttons now use the existing link styles alongside their own
+  - Changed various variable names
+  - Added styles for the `hr` (horizontal rule) element
+  - Changed padding variable names and started using nesting where applicable
+  - Now using `em` for most line heights instead of `lh`
+  - Now using the logical equivalent of the `top` property, `inset-block-start`
+  - Consolidated CSS link classes
+  - Fixed styles for the `time` element
+  - Removed redundant and unused styles
+  
+- **Behind the scenes:**
+  - Deleted an old draft review of my 7th generation iPod Nano
+  - For a brief period, I ran a self-hosted instance of [Rybbit](https://rybbit.com) analytics as a little experiment. I have since decided not to keep going with this.
+  - Removed accidental duplicate fonts from the static directory
+  - Hugo configuration file is now in YAML format to be in line with the Markdown files
+  - Enabled unsafe markup in Hugo configuration file
+
+## What's next?
+
+As for this website, my aim will be on accessibility and the UI.
+
+I need to add alt text for every image on every page. Right now, only [Dell 27 Plus 4K - S2725QC](/reviews/dell-s2725qc) has proper alt text for images.
+
+I am yet to implement a proper [focus trap](https://css-tricks.com/a-primer-on-focus-trapping/) for the mobile menu.
+
+---
+
+I hope to start learning JavaScript in 2026. I plan to move onto Svelte and SvelteKit once I have a decent understanding of JS.
+
+Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah and happy holidays!
+
+I hope 2026 will be a better year for all of us.

+
+My website is now officially [whiny.lol](https://whiny.lol)! I am no longer an organisation!
+
+## Content
+
+Speaking of updates, I will start to go through all of my blog posts and reviews and "spruce them up" a little.
+
+The first to recieve this treatment will be **The top 5 Mac apps I use daily** with possibly a new title too.
+

+### I'm keeping the rainbow in the footer
+
+I'll make the header (top navigation bar) rainbow if anyone complains.

+Hello. I am not dead!
+
+I got diagnosed with a condition called POTS earlier this year which has resulted in development of this website slowing down.
+
+## Mobile users, rejoice!
+
+We **finally** have A MOBILE MENU! After months of procastination, I figured out that, in reality, it really wasn't that hard...
+
+Aside from that, I've been chipping away at cleaning up the design of the website. Spacing and sizing should now be more consistent, particularly on mobile devices.
+
+Text should now be sized better for certain elements on mobile.
+
+There's a new hero on the home page with a nice background and some silly text. xD
+
+I added a blurry background to the header that looks quite nice while you scroll.
+
+I have also added some new pages, including [AI Policy](/website-info/#large-language--generative-models) and [Website info](/website-info).
+
+## Upcoming improvements
+
+I eventually want to add a sidebar on review and post pages featuring a table-of-contents with clickable section links.

+title: November Update 2 - v1.2.0
+date: 2025-11-25
+updates:
+- Major update
+---
+
+## Major changes:
+
+**As of November 2025, nearly all of my websites are now officially hosted on a remote VPS running [Coolify](https://coolify.io)!** This means I have more control and the ability to go beyond a simple static website should I ever need that. I am also hosting my own instance of [Gitea](https://about.gitea.com) to store my Git repositories.
+
+**The site now has an author feature with a page for yours truly.** It has information about me including my name, a short bio, my location and my pronouns, along with links for my Bluesky profile, my email address and my website of course.
+
+Authors are displayed below a page's cover image.
+
+**I have added WhatsApp and Telegram to the share section**.
+
+## Other changes:
+
+- Added pagination for section/list pages when there's more than 8 pages
+- CSS classes for links and rows/columns of links are now used throughout the site
+- Font declarations and the main stylesheet are now in separate CSS files that are bundled on build
+- Simplified the footer even further, removed "Use of AI" & added links to my other websites
+- Added a diagonal arrow icon to external links in page content and footer text
+- Removed underline offsets for links
+- Increased line height for page & other text content
+- Increased margins for headings, images and notes
+- Card title size is no longer clamped
+- Mobile menu JS now uses `setAttribute` for `aria-expanded` and `aria-label` on the mobile menu button rather than the new `ariaExpanded` and `ariaLabel` properties for better compatibility
+- Tweaked mobile menu animations
+- Overview summary text size is no longer clamped
+- Fixed automatic external links for menus
+- Added a list of public social media profiles to Contact
+- Fixed redundant styling on homepage "Latest posts" and "Latest reviews" links.
+- Removed version and changelog link from footer
+- Homepage hero post link is now configured with the site configuration
+- Decreased font weight for links
+- Social link buttons are no longer stacked with the text below the icon
+
+## Removals:
+
+- Removed the "Copy Link" option from the share section
+- Removed **"Use of AI"** and moved its contents to [Website info](/website-info)

+## Major news
+
+**The category and share sections have been merged in to their own area below page content with brand new "Copy Link" and Email options.** The category section now says "Category" instead of "Categories" if only one has been specified.
+
+**The mobile menu has nice new animations and a border on the bottom.** It now closes if your browser window goes beyond 640px in width while it's open. You can now also close it by pressing the Escape key.
+
+**The header is now translucent and blurry once again.** It turns opaque while the mobile menu is open.
+
+**You can now filter by Category on the Search page.**
+
+**Many templates and partials have been simplified and consolidated wherever possible.**
+
+**All post and review covers are now in the `.webp` file format.**
+
+**The list of gadgets from About have been moved to [What I use](/what-i-use).**
+
+**Changelog entries are now in [Major Update](/categories/major-update) and [Minor Update](/categories/minor-update) categories**
+
+**Footer links are now better organised and text has been made smaller and more unobtrusive.** Footer menus now highlight the page you are currently on, just like the main navigation menu.
+
+**I have implemented view transitions with the new [View Transitions API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/View_Transition_API)**. It will not yet work on Firefox as it currently [does not support view transitions on multi-page applications](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1860854).
+
+**All animations including the mobile menu, links, the header and view transitions now respect the user's "Reduce motion" setting.**
+
+**A link to the parent of any content you're reading is now above the page title.** This excludes pages whose parent is `/` aka [Home](/).
+
+### Important license information
+
+I am now excluding images from the permissions granted by the license.
+
+**Please do not share or redistribute any of my images elsewhere.**
+
+As of the time I am writing this changelog, all images on this website are my own.
+
+In the future, I will be adding a "Credits" section to the bottom of any page that is using another individual or company's work/intellectual property. It will likely be above the new combined Category and Share section.
+
+I may also create a dedicated page outlining what you can do with my content, both based on the [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) deed and my own wishes regarding images.
+
+## Other changes
+
+- Changed title of `/posts` to [Blog](/posts)
+- Changed title of `/about` to [About](/about)
+- Changed title of `/ai-models` from "Regarding "AI" models" to **"Use of AI"**
+- Fixed SVG layout issues on share section buttons
+- Changed [Dell 27 Plus 4K - S2725QC](/reviews/dell-s2725qc) cover image to my own
+- Fixed missing Summary text in [Apple iPhone 13](/reviews/apple-iphone-13)
+- Added original changelog entry names and removed dates from some titles
+- Corrected post links in previous changelogs
+- Tweaked hero & card title font sizes

+- Simplified Note design and removed rounded corners to be consistent with images and other elements
+- Overview summary font size is now clamped
+- Changed homepage hero update notice text to "vX.XX - Date"
+- Tweaked colours for better contrast and readability

+- Added a border to the top of the footer for better separation

+- Fixed search page UI colours
+- Fixed figcaption font size

+
+## Removals
+
+- Removed the "View all posts" and "View all reviews" buttons on the homepage
+- Removed gradient background from the Note shortcode
+- Removed AI disclaimer text from [Website info](/website-info/#large-language--generative-models)
+- Removed AI disclaimer shortcode and repurposed it for the footer
+
+## What's next
+
+I am planning on writing a blog post about my progress with HTML and CSS. It *should* be out before Christmas day.
+
+Light mode *will* be added back soon. It's not that much of a concern right now aside from potential accessibility issues.
+
+Speaking of accessibility, this is something the website doesn't particularly excel at right now. I need to work on a [focus trap](https://css-tricks.com/a-primer-on-focus-trapping/) for the mobile menu, along with writing alt text for every image on every page.
+
+I hope to work on my own UI implementation for Pagefind soon. The default one, while functional, doesn't completely fit in with the rest of the website.
+
+I was experimenting and had a proof-of-concept layout for content with a table of contents available on the right side of your screen on desktop, inspired by [Josh W. Comeau](https://www.joshwcomeau.com/)'s website. I may implement this in the future.
+
+I am making a commitment to provide detailed changelogs for every major update to this website going forward.
+
+That's all for now.

+updates:
+- Major update
+---
+
+Hi! I am still not dead.
+
+It’s taken me a while to get this done, but I have made some substantial updates to this website that make the experience better both for me and anyone reading this!
+
+In the spirit of Halloween, enjoy this unnecessarily long and comprehensive list of updates!
+
+## Major news
+
+**Search is here thanks to the [Pagefind](https://pagefind.app) static search library. I am currently using its default UI, but this may change in the future.**
+
+**Blog and Reviews have been merged into a new [Posts](/posts) page! I have set up redirects with Cloudflare so indexed links on search engines aren't affected.**
+
+## Other changes
+
+- Reviews now have their own **Review** category.

+- Switched to logical CSS properties for better compatibility with right-to-left and other layouts
+- Now using regular font files instead of Google Fonts
+- Changed homepage hero text
+- Improved contrast and colours
+- Link underlines in blog post abd review pages are now thinner and lower down

+- Removed silly accessories list in [About](/about)
+- Removed unnecessary text on the 404 page
+- Removed the quote in the footer
+- Removed useless `og:logo` opengraph tag in `<head>`
+
+## What’s next?
+
+I am going to be cleaning up and editing pretty much all existing content over the next few months. Reviews will be the priority.
+
+As a start, I’ve temporarily hidden and may possibly delete “My iPod Touch (it’s older than me)”. I never liked that post and I think it’s useless.
+
+I’ll be working on new reviews and posts after Christmas, but in the meantime, I hope to work on a fullscreen image viewer for posts and reviews, improve accessibility and possibly overhaul the mobile menu.
+
+## Other news
+
+I have officially moved this site’s source code to GitLab.com.
