⚄︎ 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.

Interestingly i just came here to post this too even tho it's an old bug. I finally figured out what is happening tho.

here is the slider ALMOST to the left.

And it touches the left and the stuff disappears.

Realized today the stuff is being placed exactly one screen height down, which you can see if you then scroll down.

Thus it seems to need a simple positioning fix. Like a Style.top = 100% needs to be a 0%

Yeah, this seems like a bug with Riot.js/Split.js thing that pretty much shapes the entire Perchance interface. I also stumbled upon the bug long days ago when I started discovering Perchance.

But interestingly enough, when I maximize my browser window the bug sort of disappears. I did try the bug on an unmaximized window like above.

Also pinging @[email protected] and @[email protected].

Also, there should be a way to make the tester panel appear even while the left side of the editor collapses (e.g. a floating tester panel, possibly draggable too).

Yeah I suspected something like this is happening. I don't think it's randomly adding a clearly wrong style though. I think it's probably wrapping.

One possibility is it's got float:right. But then if its width is not perfectly set to counter the width of whatever is on the left before it in the DOM, it will be pushed to the line below. Which it seems like is happening here.

Wow, I was just about to make a post about this. What a coincidence.

Btw, Perchance Dev, I think this only happens with smaller screens, or to be precise, should I say this does not happen with only too large screens.

[–] wthit56 2 points 3 months ago

I'm on a 1080 screen, for the record. And scaling down the page (so it thinks it's a larger screen, essentially) has it still happening for me.
