Sleepy...

I've rewritten the intro section: it's now longer, but it should give readers a bit more flexibility.

Since it's quite long, I won't ask anyone to do this for me, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new intro section (it's everything before the segments themselves).

• Make the "write a toot" column miniscule when not in use, and make all other columns expand to be as wide as possible
• Remove the buttons from underneath a post, and move them to the right of the post.
• If there are 2 toots in a row from the same person, don't redraw the username and avatar, just put a line between them.

I really want a masto interface that takes up less vertical space...

If you're curious, the source for my website is here: https://nest.pijul.com/AveryLychee/lychee-zone

`Filter.hs` and `Abbrevs.hs` contains all the code that allows me to make the audio guide without having to write lots of repetitive html.

The file that contains the actual content of the audio guide is `src/doctor-who/audio-guide.md`.

This was actually quite complicated to do: my source file is markdown, and markdown's convenient table format doesn't support tables with custom colours on each row. I could use custom colours if I manually make the tables in html but that makes them very hard to edit.

So what I had to do is make a filter that converts the markdown tables into html tables, then looks inside the table to see what my review is, and then sets the row colours accordingly

Update: I got rid of some javascript!

Previously, the page would load all the tables, but the table rows would just be a default colour. Then, a script would go through each table and set each row to the appropriate colour.
This meant that whenever you loaded the page, the colours would suddenly pop in after a second or two.

But now: all that processing happens ahead of time, so the colours are already there when you load the page!

I'm looking forward to an upcoming audio drama, which they just announced is going to feature a meeting between the first and second doctors.

Here's a behind the scenes video of Frazer Hines and Peter Purves playing the 2nd and 1st Doctors:

I've been messing around with pijul — it's really amazing
