Due to this website being a static site, JavaScript is used to create dynamic and interactive components of this site. Here is a list of how JavaScript is used on this site:

• The header of every page uses JavaScript to detect the visitor's current date, so the header will display a top blurb and in some cases also changes the header background on certain dates, including:
  • LGBTQ+ events, International Women's Day, Disability Pride Month, website anniversary and my birthday;
  • Release anniversaries of media with dedicated shrines, including:
    • A Summer’s End — Hong Kong 1986
    • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
    • Cassette Beasts
    • Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
  • Birthdays of characters from A Summer’s End — Hong Kong 1986 on its shrine.
• Add buttons to copy code snippets to pages with code blocks.
• Scott O'Hara's ARIA Tooltips script is used to implement accessible tooltips that meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 success criterion for 1.4.13: Content on Hover or Focus (Level AA), by allowing visitors to see tooltips on keyboard focus and dismiss tooltips by pressing the Escape key.
• Zach Leatherman's details-utils JavaScript package is used to automatically expand sidebar table of contents on wide screens.
• status.cafe widget, which is placed on the home page, uses JavaScript to fetch data of my latest status update.
• Website Carbon Badge, which is placed on the home page, uses JavaScript to calculate the carbon footprint of this website.
• Joined page includes webring widgets that use JavaScript.
• Guestbook uses JavaScript to render a form, send form data to my private Discord channel via Discord webhook, and fetch data from Google Sheets to display messages on the web page (guestbook code by Vera Konigin).
• The search form on the Search page is powered by Pagefind, a static search library in JavaScript.

You can still access most of the content of this site with JavaScript disabled, but the above components will not work as intended.
