a bug fix and some quality-of-life stuff
found and fixed a real bug this week: if you turned on the full custom html page feature, it quietly took your guestbook link, message button, and rss feed with it, replaced with just your page and nothing else. that's fixed now, those links live in a small bar above your page no matter what you build. also shipped a batch of small things: writing a post now autosaves as you type. close the tab, get distracted, come back later, it's still there. there's a "discard it" link if you'd rather start clean. the custom html page editor has three starter templates now (y2k sparkle, minimal zine, blank canvas) instead of just an empty box. pick one, make it yours, delete anything you don't want. guestbook replies. signing someone's book can actually be a conversation now, reply right under any entry on your own profile. real avatar uploads. upload your own photo instead of picking from the preset three, right from settings. reaction stickers on posts. not a like button, five of them (rad, saved, mixtape-worthy, magic, haunted me), each one visible with who left it. no running total anywhere, just stickers on the locker.

still working on these things tho, if they seem broken please do let me know as well as any other feedback...
Nice to see the active development of this place! I can't seem to find the post reactions nor the place to upload custom profile pictures, though. As for feature requests, I think HTML (or at least Markdown) for posts would be really useful, and it's the sort of thing I'd want from a personalisation-oriented website. Some more minor things would be implementing @mentions and for possibly more formatting for comments too (if not full HTML, then maybe some simple markup)? I'd also like if line breaks in comments didn't get deleted when comments get posted, so that longer comments don't look like one huge block of run-on text.
oddly enough, when i read about these features i got pretty excited haha. i know these are things normal to many sites now but i think its different bc your blog spot feels like walking into a quiet bar tucked away in a giant city. So when stuff gets added, its like a new drink is suddenly on the menu and even tho other places have drinks too, this one is only done this way here and the person who made it is sitting right across from you sipping away too. that's such a cool thing. to me, thats the old internet right there. this is cool! now i just have to learn how to write my own page ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡• )
