We’ve implemented an improved article layout and introduced a sidebar feature highlighting our AI usage article. This addition enhances the readability of our content while drawing attention to how AI contributes to our modules. The sidebar provides quick access to this key information, offering insights into our creative process and the tools we use to bring our projects to life. This streamlined layout ensures that essential content is always within reach for readers.

Additionally, we’ve fixed responsiveness issues for the Heading, ensuring it adjusts seamlessly across all devices. Whether you’re accessing the site on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device, the Heading now maintains its clarity and structure. These updates enhance both the visual appeal and functionality of our website, providing a smoother experience for our audience.

I’ve been working on improving our Module Manager app, a key tool in managing the evolving landscape of Foundry VTT modules. As Foundry VTT continues to grow and develop, it’s essential to keep our tools up-to-date to ensure compatibility and functionality. One recent update involved integrating one of our internal modules with FoundryModules.com as a source for new content. This required some adjustments to the Module Manager app, allowing it to handle the registration process seamlessly.

During this update, I also discovered a bug that prevented the setup image from updating correctly when a module type was changed. This issue has now been resolved, ensuring that changes to module types reflect accurately across the interface. These fixes and updates keep the Module Manager app running smoothly, supporting both our internal processes and the delivery of high-quality content to our users.

I recently renamed our Die-Hard module to fm-die-hard, aligning it with our naming convention to ensure all our modules group together seamlessly in the Foundry VTT interface. This small but significant change enhances organisation and usability for our users, making it easier to manage and access content directly from the interface.

Next on my to-do list is creating a YouTube video for fm-die-hard. This video will showcase its features, benefits, and functionality, providing a comprehensive guide for users. It’s an exciting step in sharing the value of this module with the Foundry VTT community!

Inspired by a YouTube video on improving accessibility and communication, I’ve added a contact footer to most of our web pages. This simple addition ensures that visitors can easily reach out with their questions, concerns, or feedback, creating a more open and user-friendly experience.

The contact footer includes clear options for getting in touch, streamlining the process for anyone who needs assistance or wants to connect. It’s a small but impactful step toward building a stronger relationship with our community and ensuring their needs are addressed quickly and effectively.

For interest’s sake, I spent quite a bit of time experimenting with FontAwesome. While their icons are excellent, the process turned out to be more effort than it was worth for the handful of icons I need for these pages. The friction of implementation outweighed the benefits, so I’ll likely stick to simpler options or custom solutions for now.

I also dived into creating a Shortcut to streamline my workflow—changing directories, launching Jekyll, and loading the specific website I’m working on. Unfortunately, it seems Shortcuts didn’t offer the flexibility I needed. My next step will be to try a batch script to achieve the same goal. It’s all part of finding the best tools to make development smoother and more efficient!

Lastly, Chris and I spent some time exploring the extensive changes made by Buy Me a Coffee. This included reviewing the new features, finalising linkages, and successfully withdrawing some of the funds. It’s always satisfying to see these systems working smoothly and to have the chance to delve into the updates. Fun times indeed!
