interesting article! some feedback: it looks like you host your blog on github pages .Please add an SSL certificate, it is free and would eliminated the annoying browser warning.

LCARS CSS is nice and original, perhaps you can change the font/contrast to achieve something more readable (just in case here are some ideas https://www.thelcars.com/themes/ )

Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't realized Github Pages supported SSL today for custom domains, missed a Let's Encrypt at some point I suppose. Trying to get that activated. I'll have to look into the mixed content warnings later.

Reading the HN feedback I did make a note to adjust the body font color: https://github.com/WorldMaker/lcars-moderne/issues/4

Might also play with some of those newer color theme ideas, the Lower Decks inspired ones spark joy for me. (I used a different theme site for some of the colors that was at lcarsdeveloper.com and seems maybe done now. This one seems similar and I'm wondering if they just had to change domain names at some point.)

you are welcome! enabling SSL should just be a click on github and is very convenient. I appreciate that your site is different and not like everything out there. Probably just adjusting the font color would go a long way in terms of readability but hey...it is your site so if you like it and gives you joy as it is perfectly fine :)

I watch lower decks with my kids instead of bluey now:D it's gggrreat! I do like the color scheme they put together as well, that should be cool, you should name a class boimler :D
