# Nixie, Now Combustible!

Since we first posted about it,

Nelson also wrote a blogpost about the making of Nixie, the challenges he faced during it, and its design decisions, be sure to check it out!

#StarlightNetwork #nixie

@the @nelson i really like this :3

im gonna be honest tho im still not entirely sure if it just entirely works just having it on my site like that or if i actually gotta do the self-hosted component, so i think a bit of clarification on that would be nice (i added it to my site to try and answer this, but until some users come to my site idk)

i think a nixie button should also be added to the main starlight network page, just to show it off :3

@pquirrel @the I will add this immediately.
