Featured Posts without jQuery?

So, you might know this amazing tutorial right here by @fukuo about making a featured posts section with the Tumblr API and jQuery.

Given that we're all kind of try to move away from jQuery, I thought, would it be possible using vanilla JS only? I tried converting it by myself first but — after reading a StackOverflow thread on how to convert jQuery's "getScript()" to vanilla JS — I realized that I lack the knowledge to do that (and not need ages for the conversion). Instead, I decided to use different online converters and check if the JS looks valid and doesn't contain traces of jQuery still; I ended up using this converter here. The result can be seen here (just the script).

However, when I use this script, there is no result at all and the featured posts are not being displayed. The code analysis on CodePen tells me that "Uncaught TypeError: document.querySelector.getScript is not a function", which brings me back to the aforementioned StackOverflow thread that made me feel like the huh? cat.

I did try @eggdesign's featured tags code as an alternative but either I'm incapable of running even that one or it is simply not compatible with @mournstera's base code, which I'm using.

If anyone has ideas on how to fix the converted code to make it work, I'm glad to hear your suggestions, it can only get better and I thank you in advance for offering your time and skill to help.

TL;DR: I'm once again losing the fight against the boss (JS + jQuery) and I'm handing the controller (bad code) to a cousin (incredible people on this site) to beat him.

Coder friends? Help?

Im trying to make a deafblind cat in clangen.

I've got the deaf part down, but I can't make him blind.

Here is the preexisting code I wrote for him to be deaf

Here's some info:

I run on linux

I use the text app to make and edit files

it is .json

any help is appreciated -w-

[bumbleclan]

aight sticking my paw out there- any clangen blogs out there good at coding in the particular field of adding custom cats? ive followed the text guide spreadsheet, added the cat ID to the clan's save file, and even added a history/relationship json files for the cat, yet this lil guy is STILL not showing up in-game. is there a secret step im missing to solidifying him into existence??

here's what his clan_cats code looks like in screenshot form(dont mind the pronouns, i was planning to just change those in-game once he's visible)

hes a sibling so i just copied his sister's stuff and pasted it on a new file for the history/relationship stuff, only changing the ID from 117(his sister's) to 118.

So! I'm making a web game!

It's going to be a breeding/simulator game like Flight Rising for example, just instead of dragons, you have clowns, cryptids, desktop pets and more!

At the moment we(me and 4 other friends) are planning everything out, how it'll look, the pets you can have, etc.

Currently we have most of the desktop pets planned out, and we're working on the Clowns, but, I can't find any good sources for clown husbandry so that's going to be a while.

I will be coding, though I'm still learning so someone who knows how to code and wants to join the team would be much appreciated.

The working name is Digital Playplace, but it's likely going to change.

Dm, rb, comment, whatever you want if you wanna help! We're communicating on discord atm, though.

Anyway, that's all!!

Support me on Kofi if you can!!

Heyy aurie!! Im a writer with a head packed full of ideas and I wanna try making an if!! Previously, I have written poems and snippets but never a whole story. I've alr downloaded twine and everything but ITS SO CONFUSING?? if you have any tips i would be so grateful omd 😭

hii! I am honored you asked me to help, but really before trying to do anything you should look into trying out the different formats on Twine! You basically do that by creating a new game and go to Story, then Details, and check it out (type something into the empty passage to at least see something and what the font looks like). By looking into them and seeing the designs of each one, you can figure out what works best for you. I personally love Sugarcube because it uses CSS, HTML and JavaScript to work, and there are currently a lot of resources for it!

I feel like I would do a better job if you had any specific questions to ask about how to start designing a game, so feel free to DM me. I can also help with coding as well ^^ though my JavaScript knowledge is nonexistent.

I can throw out some resources to look into as well:

Sugarcube v2 Documentation

100% Good Twine Sugarcube Guide

Megathread of Resources

Also, I’d be interested to know just what exactly you want to write, since you have so many stories. I know I have a lot, but I began working on each one at different times, so it would probably be best to settle on your favorite one for now. Maybe read it in the future too lol.

question for website building nerds:

is there a website builder that you can physically design, then convert into html/css code?

the only way i know how to describe it is one that is visually understandable. (the only example i can think of is like carrd but it doesn’t HAVE to be like that just simple like it?? idk)

i want to make my own website (neocites), but it’s hard to do with the disabilities i have. i can design just fine in terms of visual shit, it’s the code that fucks me up. it triggers stress, brain fog, pain, etc.

sorry if this sounds stupid, i’m new at this. don’t tell me any “oh just take the time to learn it” i don’t have the memory power for that.

Hi, love the game and I can't wait for more of it. I was actually coming to see if it was possible to get a little bit of coding help. I'm currently using Vahnyas template for twine and am having issue getting the progress bar to work. (such as go up or down with choices.) I was wondering if there was a way to use the current codes supplied in the code or if I would have to use a new one?

Hi Anon! Can you let me know what you mean by the progress bars?

I helped a friend with Vahnya's second template to get stat bars that change dynamically with the variables they are associated with, since those weren't coded in for whatever reason. I made a macro for that friend that I haven't shared since it is specific to Vahnya's second template, but I can share the code with you! Is that what you mean? Are you using the first or second? I think we can work something out together!

I would appreciate it greatly if you can DM me on Tumblr (uroboros-main, since this one doesn't accept DMs as I am sharing it with a friend) or Discord (my user is mistyrious. -- with a period!) so I don't clog up anyone's dashboard with specific coding asks, hehe :)

So reach out, if you dare!

Hi KC, I don't want to bother you but I was wanting to ask a coding question if thats alright. I'm trying to allow players to select more than one piercing to wear, but how would I properly code that so it comes up later. I know I would need to use an if statement in the future. But, I'm having trouble on how to allow them to select more than one from the beginning and store the variables.

hey! if I’m understanding you right I think this is a simple fix. just code the piercing variables as like:

$piercing_option_1

$piercing_option_2

and so on and so forth, so when it comes up later it would be something like:

“the mc looked in the mirror at their <<if $piercing_option_1 is “ears” or $piercing_option_1 is “septum”>> silver jewelry<<elseif $piercing_option_1 is “none”>>bare face<</if>>”

and you would just repeat the process for the second option as well. I hope I’m making sense, and if you have more questions feel free to ask.

Also I made it like 2 years ago atp but I think I kind of go more in depth in this video:

Can you get a job with just html, css and Java? Basically just as a front end developer ? With square space, Shopify, and WordPress does this take away a lot of need for front end developers?

Also with ai becoming more prominent is it "useless" to just have front end experience and are more companies wanting more people with back end experience?

okay, tumblr-backup is working GREAT for me EXCEPT now it wont make an archive of my blog. like, i keep running it, and it makes the .first-run-options file, but no "posts" or "media" folders show up, and no posts get downloaded. i finished archiving my original posts, but i really need to run it again grabbing my writing with the notes archived, because a lot of writing is saved in the replies. it just keeps skipping over posts as if it's seen then before and doesn't need to archive them but im trying to tell it to archive them again anyway! i've gone to new folders, saved it on and off my external hard drive, i've zipped and deleted my old archive, i've deleted and freshly installed tumblr-backup, i don't know what else to do. please can anyone tell me why this is happening? i dont know if i can copy all these notes by hand
