⚄︎ 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.

[Request] Code editor text size setting (self.perchance)

We can use text zoom on the whole page, but I don't need/want the generator page to be bigger, just the code itself. Having separate control over this would be great. My page is designed to look best at a certain kind of zoom level, so I need to keep changing back and forth if I want to see how it looks, know what I mean?

Okay, it's not very accessible for non-technical users, but for now I've just added localStorage.editorFontSize. The default value is currently 12. So you can open the browser console with Ctrl+Shift+J and then type/paste this:

localStorage.editorFontSize = 10

And then refresh the page, and you should see that the font size has decreased. And of course you can try:

localStorage.editorFontSize = 14

To make the editor text a bit bigger.

You noted it in your question, but since others may find this via a web search, I'll emphasize that you can also use the built-in browser zoom by holding Ctrl and then pressing the + sign or the - sign on your keyboard. But as noted that will also resize the output area, not just the editors.

Oh great! Thanks!

As is my way, I've made a little bookmarklet for people to use to let them do this easier. Make a bookmark, then change its address to:

javascript: if (window.location.host === "perchance.org") { var old_size = localStorage.editorFontSize; var new_size = prompt("What size do you want the code in the editor to be?", localStorage.editorFontSize || ""); if (new_size && new_size !== old_size) { localStorage.editorFontSize = new_size; if (confirm("Font size set. Would you like to refresh the page to see the changes?")) { window.location.reload(); } } } else if (confirm("Would you like to open perchance.org?")) { alert("Use this bookmarklet again when it loads."); window.open("https://perchance.org"); } void (0);

If not on perchance, opens perchance. If on perchance, asks for a font size, sets it, and optionally refreshes the page. 👍
