7/16 - Galactic Opus
Phone might explode!
Hi guys! It's been almost a year and a half since I've sat down and updated this site! I'm happy to be
back and I hope to be more active here overall.
This is easily the biggest update this site has ever had. Almost everything got edited... let me know if there's anything broken. Anyways! Here' what all has changed:
- - Brand identity is now a bit more consistent
- - The phone apps no longer use HTML's built-in alert system
- - A custom cursor system has been implemented. This will become customizable next patch!
- - Brand identity for some apps have been updated as well
- - These apps don't use IdolLine's branding and are very distinctive.
- - IdolManager has been removed and all of it's functionality now exists in the Settings app!
- - The UI for the Settings app has been updated accordingly!
- - Calculator properly marked as a built-in app + UI fixes
- - Your Tome has been fixed, and now works, finally.
- - Site Nav is no longer considered a built-in app and has been styled accordingly
- - A lot of the limitations with the phone have been fixed, and some new adjustments have been made. Here's the short of it:
- - You can now drag and drop app icons in-between the homepages
- - The phone now supports having up to 4 homepages that clean themselves up automatically when empty
- - Hammer.js integration for smoother touch/drag handling
- - You can now click and drag left and right on the phone to switch homescreens. No more tiny button problems!
- - Several drag/edge-flip/overflow bugs fixed
- - Removed IdolPet for now
- - The theme switcher is finally in a place where it's not bugged out of it's mind. And there's new ones!
- - Switching themes should no longer fail sometimes
- - Theme switching now works site-wide, not just on Bloom!
- - 2 entirely new themes have been added: Frutiger Aero, Malibu Magic
- - The old built-in Light/Dark modes became their own themes, and 2 more themes closer to IdolLine's branding have been added
- - Some of the older themes have been adjusted a bit as well
- - The site now has it's own economy!
- - Earn Lusters by interacting with the site. There's plenty of ways to earn them!
- - There's now a Wallet app for tracking your earnings!
- - You will be notified by the phone when you earn Lusters!
- - Introducing IdolShop: a place where you can "buy" customizations for the site even further!
- - This is in it's V0 state, so more will be coming later on!
- - Created a very simple weather app. Still is procedurally generated, no APIs used!
- - I would make this tap into an actual weather API, but idk... seems like a lot of work.
- - With the updates to IdolLine's homepage, WidgetSmith was also in need of a proper update
- - I've updated the system for masking widgets. You can now upload and save your own custom SVG masks!
- - You can now create and save your own custom filters for your widgets!
- - It comes with a sweet new UI too.
- - Also fixed some UI bugs that have been in here forever
- - Some of you may know already how much strife Serenade has caused me. Well, hopefully, that will no longer be the case
- - A new playlist system has been added!
- - This only works with songs built into the site! I'll be adding more every patch!
- - The progress bar can now be used to seek through a song!
- - Fixed some general UI bugs
- - Fixed a bug where the next song would not play if Serenade was not open
- - Fixed links to songs, removed some and added some!
- - There's some new achievements and reworks to some easter eggs!
- - Added 3 new achievements. There's more coming later!
- - Achievement toast sound effects have been updated!
- - ANDROMEDA's OBSESSION has come a long way from where it was originally! It's still a work in progress, but at least you know what shrines I'm actually working on now!
- - I've created a shrine to As Miss Beelzebub Likes It! It features a general rundown of the anime, some info about it, but most importantly, the ability to watch the entire anime with subtitles! There's another section for the actual readable manga on the way, but for now, why not give this funny and cute anime a watch?
- - The Paracosms index page has been updated to feel even more galactic!
- - You can now see the Heliotrope (No longer Cerulean!) spiral in all its glory!
- - I did a very large folder reorganization as well. Let me know if there's anything broken that I might have missed!
- - Japanese font fallbacks have been added
- - Updated "About Me" to reflect 2026 me better
- - It's been a while, after all!
- - THE GAME is no longer absolutely impossible to get to. There's a new path. Go and find it.
- There are some new easter eggs! Good luck finding them!
- - Because of some of the reworks for the site, progress for achievements and easter eggs has been reset!
