Update 10: Custom selection

4/11/2026

Now I'm working on integrating a custom selection- as the text highlight was probably the last non-custom thing I can find on my site.
Lots of bugs to work out- dealing with the custom mouse, custom scrolling, custom right click context, etc. etc.
and then also making it work with all the different styling already, which is far from finished.
It will be a little more magical and have a big more of a magic-fog like appearance when I'm finally finished.
Also working on some other fun content pages in the future, such as recipes and an about me.
Still working on all the custom styles, but they are very close to being finished now I think.

Little updates like this are an interesting reflection on where this website is at, and what its like to work on it.
I had to get a little creative with solving the main problem, which was that the selection highlight area would scroll with the rest of the page.
Now, I was able to fix this, but it came with other, greater consequenences.
What ended up being the most elegant solution for the time being, was to just clear the selection when the user scrolls.
Anything I implement now, even if small, often requires considerable integration with all of the other ways this website does things differently.

Back to updates.
