Any suggestions on app for creating a large timeline visual? I want it to be pretty easy to add new events any time, and share it with others. Would prefer it to be self hosted, but also open to a native app I could export from as an image.

Thanksgiving beans loaf in progress. #vegan dish for my first big holiday as a vegetarian.

Probably going to create an account over in that PeerTube instance in a few days since I've been looking to host videos somewhere.

I just discovered that @stux not only hosts a Mastodon instance, but also a while bunch of other stuff, including PeerTube. Also has this spiffy services page: https://services.mstdn.social. Super cool!

Reminder to myself that htmx and Alpine.js look like really interesting options.

A few things I wish SSR frameworks did better: automated testing, and making components. I've never found templating systems satisfying and they're hard to use in multiple spots within an app. Automated testing was much less common when I was building old-school PHP server-side rendered apps, but it would be huge to have this improved.

These things could be better now too. I'm not sure. The more JS stuff I wade through though, the more I think it's time to go back.

Is it actually worth learning a new thing this time? Will somebody else just get bored and make a new option? Remix's big features are _server side rendering_ and _using browser features_. Probably good goals, but in other words, don't use JS? We've got tons of options for that too! At that point, make an F# app or Rust app that server-side renders and has better type safety and is more efficient.

I've been primarily working with front end UI JS and building user apps for close to 10 years now. I had a year or so break doing some backend C#, back at it for the past year. I get JS fatigue now.

Most recent example: Next.js is pretty good and has been going for a long time. Now Rexmix is announced. It provides a very similar abstraction except it encourages more backend rendering and has react-router. Alright...

Thanking sweet baby Jesus I wrote these e2e tests. Lots of work, but they always turn out to be very valuable.
