I just want to mention that Loud Dog woke me up at 4:30am and I really really wish I could’ve gotten back to sleep.

We have weather. Who said that was okay?

@gizmomathboy Well I’m just itching to give terrible advice, so let me know if you have any questions.

We got a handy JS file that goes in an HTML file and does a useful thing.
Kinda want to use it locally, but as an app.
I’ll use Electron!
But I’m not too fond of JS.
Let’s use Pyodide instead.
Hey maybe some htmx would amuse.
wait where’d the handy JS file go

@gizmomathboy Ooh yeah with a file handler widget that will recognize and launch the electron application!

@gizmomathboy I’m thinking I do want a feedback option, if not full-on comments.
Could also rebuild proper support for WebMentions. The part I got hung up on was sending WebMentions, when a post of mine is a response to someone else.

@gizmomathboy Yep, any language that’s got a Jupyter kernel out there can be run in a notebook. I was doing notebook stuff with Raku a little while back.

@halcy It depends what folks need.
“give us a way to look at this data” means Datasette
“No, a fancy way” means Dash
Something with functionality and a clear purpose? Probably FastAPI using its HTML rendering.
“I dunno, maybe look at some data and maybe do something later?” Django’s admin setup will get them started

@mcgrew @halcy I like how heavily FastAPI leans into type hinting, but you’re right. Flask is a better choice for getting something small and focused up quick.
