You can copy the above addresses from this blog anytime, or, you can go to the "about" page on the main site and click the copy button, which will automatically copy it to your clipboard. All you have to do is paste it in your crypto app.

Alternatively, you can tip me with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) if you are using the Brave Browser. Just click the triangle at the top next to the lion icon. Ignore where it says monthly, don't put anything there. Just click "Send Tip" and it will ask you how much:  1BAT, 5BAT, 10BAT.

Any and all support appreciated! Signing off!

PS - the old paypal button on this blog (to the left) still works, I just realized it was still there, but crypto might be a better option for all of us ;) ;) ;) ;)

Mobile site is live!

Success! I have ported the site to mobile format, however it is for android only atm... I will do an apple version next week (difference being that apple has a weird way of scaling that it cuts the top portion of the site off, so it requires its own version). I could just do "fit to view", but that ends up destroying the default CSS, and that's probably going to be a future project.. for now I'm ok with two versions.

I also found a way to shrink the file size of the site. By default, resolution is set to 2.0. I changed it to 0.8, and the site went from being 3.8MB to 500kB. I'll probably do this with all the e-card animations next.

Anyway, here's a preview of the site. Visiting www.hugclub.net on your phone will automatically take you to m.hugclub.net. You should be able to send cards now, I just need to update the preview button so that it goes to a more mobile friendly version of each animation. Panda signing off.

Considering a mobile site

Hi again everyone. Today I contemplate on making a mobile site for those who happen to visit my site on their phones or tablets.

Well, I am very pleased with the results of the site having been successfully rebuilt in HTML5 Canvas. It works very well for the desktop. So, I went to test it on my phone... and the performance is very poor.

I did a some research, it turns out that HTML5 Canvas is actually still in its infancy... huh... Apparently no mobile device today is powerful enough to handle "EVERYTHING" that HTML5 has to offer. This includes trying to view animations in an iframe, which my site was designed to do...

Maybe in the next 5 years, all phones, even the cheap ones, will be powerful enough to handle it. In the mean time, I will temporarily use a flat design for mobile users. It's going to be a 90's style retro layout, I think you guys will like it. It's fast, easy to use, and works well.

For now, please only view the website on a desktop PC until I get a proper mobile page working. Thanks for your support everyone!
