Hi, fellow peeps!

I am Lemonheep, a queer nerd who is mainly a hobbyist 2D artist and aspriring system administrator, but often also a home cook and a gamer. I've mostly been doing small projects here and there in my free time, though I hope to get better at things like making comics, 3D art, and webdev in the future.

This web-space by itself is nothing too special. It's a dedicated space for my artworks and other creative works for anyone to browse through (and not just those with a Smigglo/Bidjen account or whatever). However, I feel that more and more of us need to get back into making personal websites. It's honestly the best representation of your online self, where you're free to present you and your creations in any style and layout you want!

Notices!

03.01.2026 - Web-blogging on Android! An almost shit-fucked experience

Recently, I bought a new tablet (specifically, a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite), and it's been a joy drawing and taking notes on it. There are still a fair bit of compromises I needed to work with, such as Krita's Android build still being in beta and having to find (sometimes inoptimal) alternatives to my other favorite desktop-only apps, such as Simple Markdown instead of MarkText, and Collabora (or Google Docs) instead of OnlyOffice. While Krita has stayed awesome and Simple Markdown is actually quite good, I'll have to get used to Collabora for a little while longer. It's based on LibreOffice, which I'm not too used to on desktop, and it's not too optimized for touch controls unlike with Google Docs (which I want to avoid whenever I can). Overall, though, it has been much much more pleasant to use than the shit-slab Surface Go 2 I was previously used to. Android, though often compromised by proprietary software and hardware vendors, is far better than Windows at offering a stable tablet interface (especially with the S-Pen working well without a battery at all!), and there is still a thriving community of FOSS developers building apps that serve the users as long as you look out for them.

One especially interesting use-case that is turning out okay, at least after multiple minutes of fussing around with less stable apps, is writing code. I have had to futz around with multiple code editors that I thought would fit perfectly, but completely fell apart when I tried to use them. Xed looked the coolest, and it even had a built-in terminal! Yet, its language servers seemed to continue crashing, and it often would glitch out so badly that I couldn't save anything at all. Squircle, too, looked promising, but it just would refuse to open any folder that was outside of Internal Storage. (Note: A code editor from the Play Store may have worked better, but I'm stubborn - Fucking fuck the Play Store) In the end, I've settled with Acode for now, and while it's still not up-to-par with something like VSCodium, it's good enough for now. I mean, it resembles Codium after all, lol. I have been easily able to write out this notice you're reading right now, and I imagine maintaining other parts of this web-space wouldn't be too bad. Another thing is that I needed to sync my website's Git repo. It's a fair bit easier to find, though I still had to dig through what good Git clients are out there. GitSync didn't really work, as well as Xed-editor's built-in terminal. Ultimately, I went for Termux, since so many other nerds have had a nice experience with it, and I personally found it nice when I tried it a while ago. In general, I don't think I have found things too compromised on Android, even as different as it is compared to desktops and laptops.

P.S.: Speaking of Android, I must reach out to all of you to participate in the Keep Android Open movement. Google, who maintains Android, intends to restrict developer freedom by making them have to verify themselves before publishing their software onto the platform. This will fry away the open nature that helps Android's libre-software community prosper and provide users numerous options that don't intend to exploit them, and instead force us to accept the malware-infested, engagement-maximized, and censored Play Store. While it is the status quo, especially for Apple users outside of Europe and Japan, we have to move towards a more open future, where users no longer have to worry about companies controlling how they use their devices, and instead are more free to get the most out of them. So, I ask for you to get involved in this movement, and thus take action against this corporate tyranny.

P.P.S.: Minor change, but I'm using dots to separate dates now! That way, I can use the date on file-names without my computers yelling at me (unlike with the forwards slash /), and it'll be much clearer for dates that represent multiple days (unlike with the dash -).
