Extensions

it's still mostly dedicated to linernotes.club but i've since made a few changes to make this more modular in case anyone else wants a custom theme based on mastodonFlat? the basic structure of the theme is something like this:

• themeName.scss = contains import statements for all base mastodon styles, with the following imports in order:
  • themeName/palette.scss -- defines color palette to be used by mfc base theme
  • mastodon_flat_css/mastodonFlat.scss -- applies mfc base theme using palette
  • themeName/overrides.scss -- misc tweaks on top of mfc

Additional notes

Mostly based on https://github.com/trwnh/mastodon-flat-css
