And... if that weren't bad enough, to use it, you have to learn a whole framework that's little documented.

April Fool's edition, let's get it rolling.

Imam Ali Mustofa • Apr 1

How add this backgound? Seriously I am asking...

Ben Halpern • Apr 1 • Edited

We add classes based on tags to every page, and this is some custom css to latch on to the tag.

<style>
  @keyframes barrelRoll {
    from {
      transform: rotate(0deg);
    }
    to {
      transform: rotate(360deg);
    }
  }
  .articletag-doabarrelroll {
    background: #010100;
    background: url(https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fj27fydricaw99jhkzwic.png) no-repeat center center fixed;
    background-size: cover
  }

  .articletag-doabarrelroll .crayons-layout {
    animation: barrelRoll 2s ease-in-out 1; /* Animation name, duration, timing function, iteration count */
  }


  .articletag-mememonday {
    background: #c21da4;
    background: url(https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ffc70vzle6p0y0zb7p5om.png) repeat;
  }

  .articletag-perfectlycromulent {
    background: #f4f4f4;
    background: url(https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Frzs6a59uuxjx328uu9p7.png) repeat;
  }

  @keyframes vibrate {
  0% { transform: translate(0); }
  20% { transform: translate(-2px, 2px); }
  40% { transform: translate(-2px, -2px); }
  60% { transform: translate(2px, 2px); }
  80% { transform: translate(2px, -2px); }
  100% { transform: translate(0); }
}

.articletag-shakethingsup {
  animation: vibrate 0.1s infinite;
}

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  .articletag-shakethingsup {
    animation: none;
  }
  .articletag-doabarrelroll .crayons-layout {
    animation: none;
  }
}
</style>

Maybe we should let people add their own backgrounds on all posts? 🤔

Most likely a terrible idea.

Imam Ali Mustofa • Apr 1

Aaah... so this is built-in feature so people can't set their own background... 🤣 I want like specify the frontmatter like:

background_image: <display.image.url>
background_repeat: true

Imam Ali Mustofa • Apr 1

This is will be fun and terrible idea!

Ben Halpern • Apr 1

Yeah, this is sort of an admin hack for April Fool's — maybe a bit too hideous for normal use, idk.

Imam Ali Mustofa • Apr 1

Yes! So don't...

But how about random image background in CSS 🤣 I am joking

Corentin Bettiol • Apr 8

@ben It could be fun to unlock custom backgrounds for posts based on some metrics (activity, years of service, ...), as a reward. Not too extravagant ones, of course :)

If programming languages were exam papers 😁

Mohammed • Apr 1

The Java one is irking me but it's so true lol :)

CitronBrick • Apr 1

It's been years since I saw this meme, & despite being acquainted with all these languages, I never got the Python joke. How is Python import, that different from C include or JavaScript import ?
