You might be wondering what the big deal is displaying html images. There are existing solutions, right? Yes, but they only work on dynamic hosted sites. Neocities is static.
Below are some issues that I had to deal with.
- Getting the images to display correctly on both a phone and a laptop without having the horizontal bar showing up. This had to be done without distorting the original image.
- Adding or deleting images without having to modify the source code.
- Have each directory maintain an image count without having to duplicate the source code. The reason for this is if I make changes to one set of code, I'd have to make changes to every file.
- Not having the text shift as the image loads.
