Forget-me-not

🎸 About

This is a fansite for Japanese musician, You, best known for playing guitar and violin for Gackt and S.Q.F.

Live site: you.sekai.co.uk or sekai.co.uk/you

🤖 History

The site was first opened on 23rd March 2004, built with basic HTML and CSS in trusty Notepad. Around 2009, it was rebuilt as a WordPress site, where it lived for another 5-6 years. I then unfortunately completely abandoned the site until 2020, when it was rebuilt again using SvelteKit and TailwindCSS.

This was one of my first popular sites, helped along by being built when fansites were a thing. Fansites are now dead but I was really proud of building and maintaining this site, and I'm pleased to have a working version live again after all this time. Still a massive fan of You! ❤️

💻 Development

To run the site in development mode with a local dev server, run the following command:

npm start

The site will be available on http://localhost:3000/.

To commit, use:

npm run cz

No-JS Baseline

The site is prerendered and should remain usable without client-side JavaScript. Keep navigation as normal anchors, keep the mobile menu functional with native HTML controls, and make sure images render as real img elements in the generated HTML.

Useful checks:

npm run check:noscript

This checks the source for the current no-JS baseline: native mobile navigation controls, real image markup, no javascript: links, and direct YouTube links beside embedded videos.
