From my personal experiences 🙂
Few months ago I decided to create my own Essence project. Project needs website, and I do not specialize in frontend development (t.y. i can make web work, but it won't be pretty for eye). So I search and find a guy in Discord, which claims he can make me a good looking HTML website for 30 EUR, prove some screenshots from his previous work. I agree.
1 week later, I get my HTML website, make few changes to contents, update URLs and upload it to FTP. Site looks good, I am happy that this headache is no more.
Two months passes. I scroll through other Essence servers scouting for good ideas. Suddenly I open one of russians project website and.. it's the same website as one I have 😉 perfectly absolutely same layout, colours, etc etc etc. I contact my guy to ask what the hell, to get blocked 😉
So I find a weekend worth of my time. Find HTML5 boilerplate generator and ask it to include Bootstrap 5 and some other stuff. Open Bootstrap documentation, drink two energy drinks on instant and start working my backend-inspired HTML black magic...
Once I found suiting firefly effect for header, result looked oikay for me:
Absolutely no magic or beauty here, but:
* Unique (and probably nobody cares to rip it)
* Done for free in ~10 hours by non-frontend dev
* Most modern browsers friendly
* Completely static content, loads instantly. No PHP at all
* Sidebar statuses (online, pvp, pk) are pulled from account manager REST API endpoint and is cached for 5 minutes. Account manager runs separately from website frontend and has access to server DB.
Where could/will it get better?
* Code in Vue instead of HTML - time concerns only, but Vue is superior compared to HTML/PHP to support desktop/mobile and implement other cool stuff
i've copyed the files from a server that has it , like all except system folder to another that didn't had the feature and it worked but i can't find any file to resemble
save acc or something
