I tend to use env variables instead of env files (12 Factor Apps - https://12factor.net/ ). Safer, not safest. As @late_night_fix mentioned, there has to be a balance.

The main point of hypermedia is the browser, not a gaming platform. Not even the mobile platform. HTMX is not purposed nor it advertises that it should be used outside of the browser scope. I use Unpoly that replies on the same principles (

I use Fastmail for my personal domain. The service is great. They don't have a desktop app. I use macOS Mail (which sucks) and, sometimes, I give Spark Mail a try but they are not there yet. Fastmail do have web and mobile clients. On

It always depends on what kind of project you're going to work on. My projects usually falls on the CRUD side. For that, I keep using Django + Unpoly (check it out) + Bootstrap and I always get a SPA like app that works very fine. And

The plugin was created after users complains. Initially the AI feature was embedded in the editor and there was no way to totally disable it. That lead to a lot of complains about information security and companies compliance. Jetbrains lis

NotePlan has a plugin that does that. I'm new to it but it has a very interesting approach to things. Check out this video (3:25s): https://www.dropbox.com/s/wokcvoc6cwps9bb/noteplan%20daily%2...

I'm using Unpoly ( https://unpoly.com ) instead of htmx. One thing that, sometimes, makes me consider pairing it with jQuery are the components built around it. Stuff like datepickers, autocompletes and whatnot are very conso
