Unnecessary background below:
When you vote on something it instantly resorts the page. It gives users instant feedback on a vote's impact. But the way I was doing that before, re-appending the elements back to their parent in order, supposedly breaks iframes. So now I'm using css flex ordering.
One side consequence of that is now the #content element, which is the parent to the posts, ends up being more fixed width when it is changed from block to flex. Odd because you would think block would be fixed width as well. Maybe even more fixed with than "flex". Really it's block that lets children expand past a floated element, even if that floated element is down another branch. Which means the sidebar goes forever even if there isn't that much sidebar content. I've seen one person request that the sidebar does that anyway. I preferred the posts going full width after the sidebar. But if it means you can vote on a currently playing video that is more important.
It's weird how many qwerks in web end up connected to each other. Do you want a sidebar to end when it ends or do you want to vote an a video without it closing? Those two things should never be related. But through the random qwerks of like 5 different web technologies, they are. Web is weird.
If you have any other features or improvements you would like let me know.
All right thanks for the update x0x7. We'll just keep diving deeper into the matrix...
Improvement thoughts:
1 Re-order sidebox preference:
2 Work out whatever kinks remain in "Submit both", rename it "Make a post" ["make" is better than "submit"], hide the other two so one remains, and rename the last to just "Make a poll" ("new" is redundant). Then rather than four there'd just be the two:
3 Is "Culture" about culture, pop-culture, or entertainment? Beside the party-titles it might be good to have a (i) to hover over for a brief overview of what that party is about.
The tab says "SubMatrix" at https://culture.submatrix.net/ and IMO for clarity it should say "Culture.SubMatrix". Also IMO, https://goatmatrix.net/u/JasonCarswell should say "GoatMatrix - JasonCarswell" and https://goatmatrix.net/favorites should say "GoatMatrix - Favorites".
4 Have you got other parties in mind?
Politics and news are generally tedious, yet I'm fascinated by PoliticalAnalysis which is kind of like conspiracy-analysis, corruption-analysis, or power-analysis - and any of these seem redundant to GoatMatrix which implies relations or a tribute to Voat, along with SaidIt and other non-Reddit forums. (Also RationalWiki, which is not rational, and always wants "more goat").
Maker culture, and/or DIY culture, is something we might try to embrace more. It's one thing to share what others have done, another to do yourself or organized with teams - so Projects may be good too eventually.
Other good potential parties: Autonomy. Education. Health. History. Media production. Music only. Prepper culture. Resistance. Science. Tech-Autonomy. Voluntaryism.
(Eventually, after I have more to show for it, I'd like a LeverMind.SubMatrix.net for the variety show community, and maybe another for developing content the show. All other social media (YouTube, Facebook, Rumble, Reddit, etc.) would point to SubMatrix as the official community forum.)
At a certain point this could become something like subs again (with much topical overlap), except it's actually organized and curated as communities rather than topics. Categorizing and organizing is fascinating but somewhat frustrating in that nothing may be isolated from everything else, thus bleeding over.
5 Is/will there be a SubMatrix API and/or a way for folks to login to sites (ie. Projex.Wiki) with SubMatrix logins? And how could we stop randos signing up to abuse non-Matrix sites? Maybe this is too big and/or way off topic.
