Requests & Commissions

Requests ❖ Requests are free! ❖ A request is anything that's kinda vague, like asking for more thread trackers or a muselist with dropdown elements. Something that you want made publicly available and wouldn't be a big project for me. ❖ Requests are prioritized beneath something I'm already working on and commissions. Essentially, I'll get to it when I can, but I will get to it. ❖ If you want a biosheet, layout, something personalized, or something only you can use, then it would be a commission. Commissions ❖ I take all commission payments through my PayPal. You can also consider joining the Patreon for exclusive content or checking out my Ko-Fi Shop for previously exclusive codes! ❖ General Codes $3: Navigations, muselists, playlists, etc. ❖ Personalized Biosheets $15: Images of your character/PB will be included. ❖ Extras: Text (history, personality, etc.) Playlist Songs Visual Images +$3 each Meaning if you want me to come up with songs for a playlist on your biosheet, the whole thing would be $18. ❖ Journal Layouts $45: Includes icon page, tag page, archive, and mobile friendliness. ❖ Editing Existing Layouts $30: If you want something that's already around personalized for your purposes. ❖ Plurk Layouts $50: Can include animated effects, specialized dash, dark mode appearance, etc. The Chrome extension Plurk Jailbreak is recommended to make the layout look as intended but is not necessary. ❖ Game Info Pages $80: Includes navigation, premise, rules/faq, applications, reserves, hiatus/drop, event templates, mod comment templates, taken, player contact, locations/businesses/employment, abilities/traits, profiles, advertisements, and anything else that your game may need. If you only need certain pages overhauled and not the whole package, we can work out a price on a case-by-case basis. ❖ Larger Commissions $90+: Game apps, websites, front-end UI/UX design, back-end database setups, etc etc. Price varies based on a case by case basis and I give no guarantees that I'll take your commission. But if you have an idea of something you want to get done beyond the scope of DreamWidth, I can probably help you. Largely depends on my skillset and free time.

I can take this on, sure! It makes it a little easier on me since you're willing to share it with the world, lol. For a code like this, I'd just charge you $3.

Now, to be upfront, I think there's a way for me to make it exactly like how you're asking. However, I'm worried that I won't be able to make the boxes dynamic. Say you click to expand one in the second row, the code may push all of the boxes on the third row and below down instead of just the box right beneath it. I think there's a way around this, but I'll have to play with it for a bit to remember what it was. I just wanted to be transparent about that.

Anyway, were there other things about this code that you wanted? I should be able to make a mock-up for you by the end of this weekend at the latest.

That all sounds totally fine to me, thank you for explaining! I don't mind at all if expanding an inner box pushes the content below it downward; I'm not trying to keep the rows perfectly locked in like a dashboard, I just want each section to grow to fit its text without an inner scrollbar.

Here are the main behavior things I'm hoping for:

I'm not very HTML/CSS–proficient, and I figure most folks who use premade codes may be in the same boat. It would be great if the code makes it relatively easy to add more headers/rows without too much fuss. Ten headers is probably around what I'd be using for my purposes, so something scalable in that sense would be ideal.

Along the same lines, it would be nice if adding additional sections is also possible. There are four in the mockup, but I could see folks wanting more.

The headers in my example are more rounded than what I actually want; I was thinking more like square-ish headers with lightly rounded corners.

I'm fine with multiple top sections being open at once. If it's easier to force only one open at a time, that's also okay, but not required.

Clicking a header should open the content box under that header, and the box should auto-grow to fit whatever text is put in there. Again, totally fine if opening one inner box pushes everything below it down.

I'd like all components to be collapsed by default.

If you want to reorient/reflow the headers so they're better suited to lots of individual headers, or work better on smaller screens/mobile, I'm totally fine with that! The main idea is just an accordion-style breakdown so the information is easier to process and doesn't hit you as one giant wall of text.

I'd love a gradient effect going from darker to lighter with each header, if that's doable. If not, flat colors are absolutely fine.

That's about it! If this all works for you, I'll go ahead and send payment on your confirmation and a little extra, because 1.) your rates are criminally low for the work you do, and 2.) it's the holler days, get yourself a treat! No rush on my end, either. Please take all the time you need.

That all works with me! I'm not sure how a gradient will go only because the code might resize itself based on a user's screen size, so a laptop may see 4 boxes per row while a phone might see 1. All the same, I can play with colors and do my best to make it look nice. Do let me know if there's a particular color scale or gradient you'd like me to work with, but I'll also be sure to make it easy for you (and others) to edit colors later.

As far as payment goes, you can send it over here whenever you're ready. It may not be until this weekend that I can get to this, so there's absolutely no rush. You can wait until everything's done if you want. Thanks in advance for the little extra, though. ♥

Oh, sure! That makes sense to me re: the gradient. Solid colors are completely fine if a gradient proves too fussy. For my use case, I was thinking #F5473B > #FFD29C > #302A27... or a shift from red to gold to black. I think this would work just fine as either a gradient or solid colors.

I just sent the payment over; take all the time you need! I had you make a suite of codes for a game I ran a couple years ago and I'm still thrilled with how that turned out, so I'm always happy to come running your way when I have coding needs.

[lina_trinch]

Hi! Thanks so much for the payment. The extra is so appreciated. ♥

I've got a mock-up together! You can check it out over here and let me know what you think. The colors are more or less placeholders for now. I was just playing a little with what looked good, but I'll make it easy for you to change the colors yourself, too. I worked with some gradient ideas and none of them worked out well.

Aside from colors, though, please do let me know what you think of this. If there's anything you want changed, no matter how big or small, please let me know.

[conchy]

Oh hey! This looks fantastic to me! No corrections needed as far as I can see.

[lina_trinch]

That's great! I'm glad you like it. I'll clean up the code and send it to you via DM soon with some instructions. Thank you!
