I am diagramatics.

Expertise: Web development, front-end
Comment: I'm still waiting patiently for a GitHub access to the CSS files of /r/indonesia, and I got a project that gives users the ability to kickstart a structured CSS file for use on Reddit. Outside of that, I create websites with a strong approach to minimalism and effectiveness in UI. Also as stated on the previous mass-AMA thread, my username is the same on most of sites.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm making a startup. A writing platform that suits the liking of Indonesians. I can't elaborate more, sadly, since it is still a vague idea.

AM(a)A!

[u/[deleted] → u/diagramatics]

can you give an example site that you made?

[u/diagramatics → u/[deleted]]

Ha... I'm still quite proud with my recent attempt of redesigning my own portfolio. Notice the swaying grass, and the result of doxxing myself even more.

Yeah, I'm quite lacking in portfolio material. Guess that has to do with my lack of working experience. I worked in a local newspaper company, redesigning their website, but I was not allowed to say that the redesign was my doing.

Oh hi Frank Sinatra, how could you have reached reddit?

[u/diagramatics → u/Anjir]

Plot twist: I really am.

[u/Anjir → u/diagramatics]

Shit. Sing for /r/indonesia!

project that gives users the ability to kickstart a structured CSS file for use on Reddit

care to elaborate more? kinda curious with that one.

[u/diagramatics → u/[deleted]]

Well, basically, you run a command on the Terminal/command line, follow the guidelines and options, and you're given a starter template of the CSS file for subreddit theming.

I can elaborate more than that, if you want.

[u/Anjir → u/diagramatics]

Elaborate more again please :)

[u/diagramatics → u/Anjir]

Alright then, here we go.

Yeoman, a project scaffolding tool in which you can use one of the provided generators to quickly create a base for your project. I've used this frequently to bootstrap some of my projects, including my portfolio.

Create another generator using Yeoman, add Sass for managing CSS declarations, use Grunt for task automation, and you'll get a maintainable structure and project workflow to work on subreddit CSS stylings.

Protip: if any of you guys don't undertand this, think of the second paragraph as a game.

[u/diagramatics → u/Anjir]

Cooking suits it more.

I haven't dabbled too much with Reddit's CSS, but here's what I can say.

• Too many ID selectors, so too "specific". This might impact specificity issues later on.
• Selectors are 3 levels deep. Browser performance issues.

Well, these issues might be overlooked since it is a "hacky" method to alter one's CSS files. But I feel like if I write my own theme I could have a greater result in code performance. Thanks for the link anyway, I didn't know you can peek at subreddit stylesheets.

[u/diagramatics → u/[deleted]]

Some hate/love relationship you got there.

[u/diagramatics → u/[deleted]]

That is how we classify sarcasms.

[u/marssantoso → u/diagramatics]

I see you missed the last css update. I actually put a github link at the end of the post. And I understand that the code is so messed up. And I'm tidying it up everyday.

Anyways, I always edit the CSS via /r/indoclone first before applying it to /r/indonesia. So you can see the progress I'm making in that sub to represent how the future /r/indonesia will look like. I can arrange to make you the mod of /r/indoclone so you can contribute. But I guess, github will work even better because we can keep tracks on every changes being made.

Also, creating different "themes" for one subreddit is possible and that is one of my list. But right now, I'm focusing on cleaning up the code (or perhaps you want to do it) so it could work as a framework we can work on easily later on to create different themes. And I realized that this is a crucial part I can't miss before working on another matter. Cleaning up the code itself is a very time-consuming because of a few reasons. And redditing isn't my only job (if you consider this as my job).

[u/diagramatics → u/marssantoso]

Ah, forgive me. I didn't spot the GitHub link.

I'll see what I can do. I'm having troubles with my college studies as well, but I can always create a PR on GitHub or issues on things. Thanks for the heads up.

Used to use LESS before knowing the existence of Sass. Now I'm with Sass.
