⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

I see what the code is meant to do... it removes those from the style so it's not on the element. And adds it to injectedStyles for the iframe to see. But that seems to actually do nothing.

For image generation, if you're lucky you see it for a split second before the full-page grey element is shown. So at least there it is actually added by the iframe. Maybe the page background could be made grey by default and the injected style could override, and the grey element could just not have a background. At least then it would work. (Though as we can't change the text colour, people could make an unreadable mess. On the other hand, that's allowed by allowing any styling in the first place ;P)

The gallery doesn't appear to add it at all, though.

Feature Request: CSS Injection

While we're on the topic, I had a feature request... a property to inject full-on CSS. This would make things very flexible. Even allow us to prevent gallery saving by hiding that button, etc. Allow us to cater to dark mode in whatever way we wish also. And this background removing and injecting thing could just be commented out entirely because this new property would do the job... and actually do the job, too.

Oh weird... I don't know why padding on an iframe would even do anything, but there you go... 😅 But still, makes the background a bit pointless if all you can do is make a little border-like thing around the outside.

As for the gallery... no idea why that wasn't working for me, but it's working now. I was testing while I worked on adding the gallery to my text-to-image demo. Maybe the code wasn't sorted properly yet, but it's working now anyway. 👍
