I've been slowly hacking on the UI and concept for this blogging system I'm coming up with: https://oyp.zedshaw.art/ I make Art, Music, Videos, Photography, and writing, and I'm tired of not being able to publish all of that without being enslaved to a platform.
Music lists out with individual tracks playable on the page: https://oyp.zedshaw.art/#/music/ And you can play each one: https://oyp.zedshaw.art/#/music/1/ There's a bug in the SPA router I'm using that makes the "Related Music" links fail there.

Art is listing out: https://oyp.zedshaw.art/#/art/ And there's a basic hack to load the massive files with webtorrent, but no design really: https://oyp.zedshaw.art/#/art/0/ Art is different from Photos in that I just want a single photo that could be massive so people can panzoom.

Incidentally, panzoom works on that page. Probably on too many pages to be honest. I kind of just slapped on everything to try it. Click the image after it downloads to pan and zoom it. It's also the same image every time since I'm just working on the design of one page.

Games are mostly just me making crappy games using PICO-8 or TIC-80: https://oyp.zedshaw.art/#/games/ Those load and are playable: https://oyp.zedshaw.art/#/games/1/ But it has to use an iframe which id dodgy, and I can't webtorrent those yet.

Finally, Words work but the organization and layout is very basic: https://oyp.zedshaw.art/#/words/ It's doing markdown in the browser and just loading it off the server with a fetch() call: https://oyp.zedshaw.art/#/words/1/ The trick on that will be to easily reference other media in the .md.

Nothing else works as this is all just fake to work out a simple UI that has all the main features. I'm at a point now where I have to figure out the data model, which means that I'm coming close to the end of the UI work I could possibly do.

However, the fact that this is a blog that handles nearly every kind of media I could conceive of *and* distributes it with WebTorrent to cut costs, all done in about 2 weeks time (minus WT dev), demonstrates that modern JS development has SIGNIFICANTLY advanced in usability.

You'll also notice the tag line: "An experiment in bulletproof hosting for artists on the edge." I basically want to post some art with nipples in it and don't want Instagram to take it down. A major goal will be an ability to host this on a $10 VPS and have it work.

So the "on the edge" part is mostly a joke, 'cause, I mean, c'mon, what the hell is instagram's problem with nipples eh? That's not edgy at all. Humans been painting other naked humans for like 50k years.
