  • To add them to your page I included the colors for the original themes and the file themes.txt contains commands you can copy and paste into the search bar for each theme.

Custom sized grid

  • Tiles now supports custom sized grids which can be set in the settings form

2x6 grid

5x2 grid

Hosting Notes

  • The server is set to be most responsive from 8-24 PST.
  • My hosting goes through a sleep schedule so initial response times will be delayed for requests outside of that time range.
  • Maintenance will occur during these evening periods.

Icons8

To add an icon for a tile/page/theme:

  • Go to icons8.com
  • Search for the icon you want (set the style to color)

Icons8 search

  • Click on the icon you want and find the icons real name

Icons8 search

  • Use this icon name in your command or in the input form

    !tile https://google.com Google Search ~google-logo

Notes

  • Backend will be open-sourced in the next few weeks.
  • Spaces are replaced by - in commands. (use normal spaces in forms)
    • ex. !tile url Bon-Apétit Recipes ~cooking
  • There are still some bugs involving pages longer than the grid
  • If you run into some bug involving blank tiles reload the page and it should resolve.
  • I would recommend leaving the Themes and Search pages on your homepage to hold all theme and search tiles.

(If you don't themes and searches will still function but the page to edit them will be unreachable)

  • Feel free to reach out if you have any questions/bugs.
