As you might recall, the playlists released monthly are now actually the playlist for the previous month. So there you go with the ***May*** one!

No more new stuff to share, except that [pjals](https://pjals.vern.cc) is back and we're now back talking again! I hope you enjoy my wacky selection of songs for the previous month, and well, see you eventually.

Lol, I don't even know why so much excitement.

J-J-J-Juuuuneey!!!

This post is being written on May, but you know I have changed the things a little bit and now I'm making up the playlist for the _previous_ month instead. Anyway, there you go:

No new updates. At least not for AutiOne, but maybe I have something going on with <a href="https://snowflake.blue/" target="_blank" style="font-family: Apple Color Emoji,Segoe UI Emoji,Noto Color Emoji,Android Emoji,EmojiSymbols,EmojiOne Mozilla,Twemoji Mozilla,Segoe UI Symbol,Noto Color Emoji Compat,emoji,noto-emojipedia-fallback;" rel="noreferrer">❄</a>. Dunno :)

It's that day on May!

"Yay, site update!", at least, that could be your reaction if I actually did something more fun or useful for this update.

Just made some minor fixes and a tiny weeny addition, but it's nothing much too. <del style="color: #fff2;">Or is it?</del>

Well, that's pretty much it, another post just so I can say my blog is active. Thanks for reading, and um, I think you can go now.

<details style="list-style: none">
  <summary>:)</summary>
  Keep this a secret only between us, but idk, you could try going to the homepage and typing <code style="color: inherit">stop</code> or maybe clicking a shortcut with a different mouse button? :)
</details>

<style>
details summary {
  display: block;
  opacity: 0.3;
}

details {
  cursor: pointer;
}
</style>

v7.2.3 is out, though with nothing much on it

📦

Wee, another month, another fresh playlist made up from my wacky preferences for this month.

<iframe style="border-radius:12px" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/5nPmsw9ogeOr4JO6juoj9H?theme=0" width="100%" height="380" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture"></iframe>

Hmm, yeah. I think that's pretty much it, no new thoughts or anything, so just the playlist for now. I hope you like it and uh, see you later!

M-m-m-march!

This post is simply an "alive-check" for the site. I just felt like posting something, but I didn't really know what to write though.

My idea is to, make a list of my favorite songs for the month and post it occasionally, and who would've thought? I've just done that for January, I just didn't think of posting it.
<iframe style="border-radius:12px" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/7fbolx5ZVBxc60T5c2Fr0y?utm_source=generator&theme=0" width="100%" height="380" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture"></iframe>

Over January, I was just being very active and energic, like WOOOOOO!!!, but as the month goes ending, you can notice by the last tracks I've been transitioning into more emotional tunes.

<iframe style="border-radius:12px" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/32E4fJmnIwaRprLewRWbYv?utm_source=generator&theme=0" width="100%" height="380" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture"></iframe>

Also for February, following up the fade from January, the songs from this month are more chill and soft. I don't really know why I'd go more for this style, but the songs are still very nice.

I will ~try to~ make and publish a new playlist of these monthly, usually around the first day of each month. In any case, it's what I have for today. Nothing very special, but at least it's content for the site and I had some fun writing this.

Have a nice day :)

Fortunately I'm not dead, so I can post this!

February!

<div class="callout"><i class="icon">article</i><main><b>TL;DR</b><span><ul><li>Removed countdown, intro animation and festive quirks;</li><li>Added post index;</li><li>Back-end bits refactored;</li><li>Front-end performance optimizations;</li><li>Small UI changes;</li><li>Æðð°ð æ” °æßŧ°® °ŋŋ</li></ul></span></main></div>

Yeah, title is self-explanatory. Most the updates were to improve performance, as I rushed a bit on that with the deadline of releasing v7 on Dec 31st of 2022, so you'd have a countdown to new years.Speaking of which, this leads us to the first change: The countdown and confetti effects are no longer available. They might return for a future event though, who knows. Along with the intro animaton that was also removed. Very time wasting, just a small show-off. Intended to be as ephemeral as the festive quirks.

As you probably have noticed while coming to read this post, now there's an index available, so you can go straight up to the posts, skipping the part where boring windows show up in your way, and the index is also prepared server-side, so the JS haters 'round the area don't need to hate on me.

Apart from that, just tiny optimizations to overall server code (so you get :zap: _fast_ :zap: server responses, specially for the ones that don't like JavaScript) and performance improvements (thanks Lighthouse). ~and also, a tiny little easter egg~

That's pretty much it, both for the update and for this blog post. Hope y'all have a nice 2023, as it said on the timer, before it commited die. Take care, and see ya.

Weeee, site update.

<div class="callout info"><i class="icon">info</i><main><b>This is an experimental post</b><span>I&apos;m sorry if anything end up being confusing there, as this post was intended to be for testing of the notes feature. I&apos;m not very used with writing relatively large articles like this, so I might have repeated or contradicted myself a few times. Thanks for your understanding!</span></main></div>

Yeah, pretty much what you're used to. Another website. At least, this one tries to be different and better, so it's more reliable and persistent.

Ever since I've rebranded to AutiOne on March 2021, I wanted to seek a good way for expressing my identity online, both for personal and branding purposes, so people could tell at glance and by just snooping a little who exactly "AutiOne" is supposed to be. This is what I'll be telling you here.

# Trial and a ***lot*** of error

I just think this didn't work out quite well, as I've never really got glad with most of my brand decisions, especially the websites. Just a few days later after the rebranding, the [first version of auti.one](https://old.auti.one) was released, and it was quite simple, having a minimalistic and straight-to-the-point style, giving you the info you needed, with brand easter eggs and a then nice design.

This worked out all right for some time, until things in the site just started to feel off personally, and I just got disturbed. There, v1 just went abandoned and outdated ~(so much that even my age is wrong)~ and I got to work on v2, which was intended to be ***<span style="background: linear-gradient(to right, #ff4f4f, #8f4fff); background-clip: text; overflow: hidden; color: transparent; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #8f4fffaa;">astonishing and revolutionary</span>***, for real, that was the thought I had in mind while doing it, but it wasn't an original idea anyway. So now, prepare for my list of why it took me seven iterations to be satisfied enough with a thing that's supposed to be simply informative.

# Tranquil once, annoyed ever

I still find amazing the fact that I just couldn't get myself to do something fine and keep it there being. There's always had at least a _single_ little annoying thing off, and it'd always trigger me.

Version 2 was the most hated one, both in my and the public's opinion. It had an _ok_ design, but the user experience was absolutely abominable. My idea for the site was to have it be a chat-like feel, where you started a conversation with "me" every time you visited the site, and this is what broke the experience. While it was nicely done, it was simply not practical to wait three seconds every action you took on the site, just to know a bit more about me or a project, and this made v2 pretty bad, so I took it down a week later.

Now for the one you were probably the most familiar with, version 3. Neat and minimal layout, with simple tabs and easy access to content, but slow as heck, very JavaScript dependent, and you'd only have the full experience on very specific occasions. While it was very simple and easy-to-use, its structure was not very well-designed and that just made the website experience slightly sucky, even more on mobile devices, of which that site was especially designed to run on.

All the reiterations after v3 just never got finished, version 4 was an attempt of improvement of version 3, keeping its main design language but switching to a full-page layout instead of a tabbed one, version 5 just looked like I was showcasing a Google product, version 6 was unpractical. Ultimately, I've decided to try and chill out on a way simpler attempt this time, and ended up doing v7.

# Untouchable and done for

Made during my nerdy period, when I was quite hyperfocused on TETR.IO and spending a lot of time watching documentaries, v7 was _the_ version. Designed to be simple, both for the user and for me to maintain, because as it is quite the point of it, the website's just here to <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted #fff;">inform</span> people about me, my projects and my recurrent insane thoughts and mind loops, being simple and out of your way while doing that.

Even though I don't want to even think about reiterating my website again, the title is a _bit_ exaggerated, as it's not guaranteed that I won't have problems with Version 7, but it's the one that has performed the best until now. I'll just hope I don't suddenly get annoyed by every single pixel of this version, as right now, I'm really content with the colorful window-y ambience.

---

In the end, I'd like to thank you for reading this gigantic text wall, and for waiting v7's release ~(even though, most people probably didn't even care ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯)~
, it's even got this new blog thingy :grinning: ~(yeah, the other ones didn't have that)~ with nice formatting.

I'll likely forget about this blog in a week, so I wouldn't expect frequent posts. Don't be bummed though, this feature took me some effort I'm not willing to throw away like this, and I ocasionally have some bs to throw here :+1:

That's it for now, thanks again, and see ya.
