question for applyfic authors, as a coder

hi, it's the annoying one™, aka rina/minty. if my username didn't give it away, i'm a amateur coder. i've got some layouts in the works because i'm trying to code more available layouts, but i kind of hit a wall when i realized that due to coding for myself for so long—and therefore not having to go on the hunt for layouts—i don't really know what kind of layouts and layout pages applyfic authors are looking for, or what pages there might not be good codes for / things that would be nice to see. i asked a couple friends on discord and the response i got was chapters + discography, which are currently on my list, but i'm here to ask the community—are there layouts or layout pages you would like to see?

chapters + discography can usually be converted from plotlines and such but would be nice to see. But actually I would just like to see more full layouts in general, if you have the time for it of course. I was so tired of always using the same free available layouts that everyone uses (honestly they are great but I see them everywhere) and missed originality so I just threw myself into coding so I don't have that issue anymore even though my layouts lowkey lmao

i don't do applyfics anymore as you can tell but in general some of my pet peeves are when it's not obvious that a layout/element scrolls, when the text/textbox is way too small to read comfortably, and when images warp because they have to be a certain size or ratio. i second chapter layouts, and i would like to see more social media inspired stuff too! like ngl i sort of miss the old soompi news articles :eyes: and i've applied to some fics with instagram inspired applications and i was like DAMN i love this
