Spice up and level up your page! Pitch is a small collection of CSS components and tweaks designed specifically for itch.io project pages.


Getting Started

  Note

This is a detailed walkthrough on how to use the app. You can skip this and start using the app, as it already has a built-in tutorial.

Requirement

  • Custom CSS access on your itch.io account.
  • A little bit of HTML and CSS know-how.

Using the app & the components

Pick components of your choice on the sidebar. Click on its name to see the live preview of it, and tick the checkbox to add it to your collection. Click Copy CSS button, the CSS codes of the components of your selection should be copied to your clipboard.

If you're unable to copy it from the button, copy it from the 'CSS OUTPUT' container on the left instead.

Paste the copied CSS codes to your page's custom CSS field, and save it. Its located at the bottom of the theme editor sidebar.

Go to your project's edit page. Edit the content/description in HTML mode. Follow the use example for each components. Copy-paste the sample codes provided in the component's live preview for a quick start.

  Important Note

Once you edit your page's content in HTML mode, Its best to keep using HTML mode onward to avoid messing up the layout.

  Limitations

(Some) components are not compatible with profile pages and/or jam pages.


  Best Practices & Tips

  • Always back up and save your HTML codes to a file, everytime you make changes.
  • Use external code editor, like Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code to get the advantages like syntax highlighting, autocompletion, etc.
  • Test your project's page against multiple screen sizes, and on multiple browsers, including the itch app before publishing it.

Very useful tool ! Thank you <3

Can you please add a section for components like hover on a game window on creator page/Outline/some tweens and other cool CSS effects ? :)

Thank you for the comments!

I’ve been a little hesitant on adding hover effects or animation-related stuff. Since I’m aiming more on CSS stuff for the page’s content.

But I do plan on adding more decorations, including animation-related tweaks.

And if or when there’s the components/tweaks like you’ve described, it’ll probably be under the ‘Decorations’ or ‘Tweaks’ section/category :)

Thank you <3

CSS Hover effects and animated stuff, or even a tiny outline, can give a huge boost to the user itch store page and make it look appealing !
Hope to see it soon in your tool :)

Hi, the buttons are actually just radio-type <input> elements. I don’t think you can insert it in project pages directly, since input/form elements will be sanitized.

The project is open source. Here’s the snippet of the codes that makes the buttons if you’re interested:

Styling: https://github.com/nndda/Pitch/blob/80ac0c31949f5ef281493bcbb7d416ca868be869/src/app/styles/_input.scss#L107C1-L140C2
