New SMS Tutorial Website
5 years ago
United States

Hello all! For the past couple months in my free time I have been making a website for SMS speedrunning tutorials. I know the milk.dog guide exists, but I wanted to try it out for myself and have example videos and some text explanation as well. I got the domain http://www.learnsunshine.com/. I think it's pretty cool and might be useful for new runners. I also wanted to make a more simple way of getting to the pages so they're all in the same place and neatly organized in a place dedicated for any%. I made a subdomain redirect to each level page to make it easy to memorize as well. For example the page for gelato 8 (gbs) can be accessed with gb8.learnsunshine.com and so on, although you can just browse them all from the home page. For a full list, I made links.learnsunshine.com. (idk why but these don't link to anywhere from here, it works if you type it into an address bar). Hope it helps and tell me what you think!

it seems relatively in bad taste to make a website about learning sunshine specifically with the domain learnsunshine, and then making your name the biggest, most stand-out thing on the page.

Well that wasn't the purpose. Sorry, I changed it.

you also have links to all of your social media on the site, your pb videos, as well as huge text stating what your pb is. this seems to lean a lot towards personal website with tutorial videos, more so than a website purely to help individuals learn sunshine.

The purpose is not to seek publicity. I do legitimately want the SMS community to grow. Before I had thought of making a tutorial site and bought the domain it actually was going to be a personal website. The homepage is kind of a remnant of that. I didn't delete them because I didn't spend very much time on the homepage, and didn't really think about them at all let alone they being percieved to be making it about publicity. The homepage wasn't a priority because I thought that most users wouldn't care about it and click straight to a specific level or just use the subdomain redirects. I apologize, I should have thought about that. They're deleted.

Also thank you for telling me, I appreciate the feedback.

Don't forget to get the https

I don't know a lot about the specifics of this so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it is actually secure. The entire domain is just a masked redirect, so whatever the address bar is is not the website you're actually on. So for example the real link for the homepage is actually https://mwolfe11.wixsite.com/sunshine. That's why the link doesn't change when switching pages on the site. I know wix is secure, so I think http://www.learnsunshine.com should be as well since it's really just the wixsite URL.
