💭 </> htmx ~ Examples ~ Updating Other Content

Three ways to support updating other content. Fantastic article walking through the different ways to update other parts of the screen using htmx.

In htmx there is no 2 way data binding, the dom is your state, and if you have elements derived from the same data on the screen in different places you need to think about how to keep them in sync.

💭 Bigger Applications - Multiple Files - FastAPI

fastapi.tiangolo.com

Fastapi lets you tag your APIRouter’s so that the swagger docs are grouped according to the router.

router = APIRouter(tags=['router'])

Now all routes in router will appear in the router group in the swagger docs.

💭 Custom pages and templates - Datasette documentation

docs.datasette.io

Datasette has its own static server that can host assets such as style sheets.

fast changing dev server today #

The dev server is cooking today, I've dropped markata builds from 2m40s (hot cache) in prod to 15s (hot cache) in dev. Currently building 2745 posts and 274 feeds.

git worktrees are needed #

git worktrees are goated, and must be leaned on moving forward.

GPU's are awesome. I just added gpu support to my bambu-studio distrobox and its flying! On my wayland based system the native package has never worked, (arch or bazzite), but running in a distrobox does. Outside of distrobox the 3d rendering canvas is black, no output. It used to work fine without gpu support, was snappy enough, complex models were a bit sluggish, but fine. Lately something happened and simple models bring it to its knees. It got unusable!
