An absolute fantastic episode about blogging, thinking about a web1.0 kind of world today, and what it means moving forward.

Web 1.0 is robust, you own your own destiny, you own your data, you can do what you want. There is no platform to tell you what you can and cannot do. But the future web is stealing your data to build AI models, spam sites are duplicating your content and stealing your SEO. You may or may not care, but at the end whether you get traffic or now you own your web 1.0 sites.

This is a handy placeholder generator for generating placeholder items like images, and videos.

Great take on low code. I have definitely felt the pressure of being presented low code options, “look it does almost everything you need, and you can do it without code.” Granted there are tons of great low code environments that serve their markets well (things like zapier).

As pointed out here when they fall short rather than being hard, it goes to nearly impossible. As Theo points out here many applications follow an 80/20 rule. 80% of the app is really easy to put together, and takes about 20% of the time, probably less. What no code does is it takes that 80% that is already easy, makes it even easier ( pitches it as faster whether or not that is true ), and makes the last 20% of the project impossibly hard to create and maintain, so you just should have picked a tool that had the capability of doing the whole thing from the start anyways.

html code generated by my jinja templates generally look half garbage because of indents and whitespace all over the place. I just learned about these pesky Whitespace Control characters that can get rid of the whitespace added from templating.

You can also strip whitespace in templates by hand. If you add a minus sign (-) to the start or end of a block (e.g. a For tag), a comment, or a variable expression, the whitespaces before or after that block will be removed:

bunny.net looks like an interesting cloudflare alternative.

After struggling to get dependencies inside of middleware I learned that you can make global dependencies at the app level. I used this to set the user on every single route of the application without needing Depend on getting the user on each route.

This page shows how to customize your fastapi errors. I found this very useful to setup common templates so that I can return the same 404’s both programatically and by default, so it all looks the same to the end user.

Setting an additional log handler to the uvicorn logger for access logs in fastapi was not straightforward, but This post was very helpful.

Setting tags in your fastapi endpoints will group them in the docs. You can also set some metadata around the tags to get nice descriptions.

Here is a full example from the post.

I often want to reach for non existing list comprehensions in jinja 2, Here are a few nice equivalents.

I am working on fokais.com’s signup page, and I want to hide the form input during an htmx request. I was seeing some issues where I was able to prevent spamming the submit button, but was still able to get one extra hit on it.

It also felt like nothing was happening while sending the email to the user for verification. Now I get the form to disappear and a spinner to show during the request.

Let’s start off with the form. It uses htmx to submit a post request to the post_request route. Note that there is a spinner in the post_request with the htmx-indicator class.

The intent is to hide the spinner until the request is running, and hide all of the form input during the request.

I’m going to give this trick a shot on my sites, and see how I like it.

* { min-width: 0 }

Down in the comments @adamwathan goes on to say.

Basically every layout overflow bug ever boils down to some flex or grid child needing min-width: 0 😄

Oh and @ryanflorence also says in the comments.

...

Excluding routes from fastapi docs, can be done from the route configuration using `include_in_schema`. This is handy for routes that are not really api based or duplicates.

From the Docs #

from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI() @app.get("/items/", include_in_schema=False) async def read_items(): return [{"item_id": "Foo"}] 

trailing slash #

I’ve had better luck just routing both naked and trailing slash routes in fastapi. I’ve had api’s deployed as a subroute to a site rather than a subdomain, and the automatic redirect betweens them tended to always get messed up. This is pretty easy fix for the pain is causes just give vim a yyp, and if you don’t want deuplicates in your docs, ignore one.

...

You can protect your fastapi docs behind auth so that not only can certain roles not run certain routes, but they cannot even see the docs at all. This way no one that shouldn’t be poking around can even discover routes they shouldn’t be using.

This is a handy guide to cancelling stripe subscriptions.

# Set your secret key. Remember to switch to your live secret key in production. # See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys import stripe stripe.api_key = "sk_test_51ODvHtB26msLKqCAPBAo1qkBBuIfT5tQBX6YFWCLMsPixIExxITCRVa9tNCIqkdQS8olhR79NYXsFWBPKsM3LbGO00zEcNQfNI" stripe.Subscription.modify( "sub_49ty4767H20z6a", cancel_at_period_end=True, )

You can even inverse it by flipping True to False and re activate the subscription.

You can find your customers next billing date through the stripe api by using Invoice. and passing in customer, customer_details, subscription, or schedule.

import stripe stripe.api_key = "sk_test_51ODvHtB26msLKqCAPBAo1qkBBuIfT5tQBX6YFWCLMsPixIExxITCRVa9tNCIqkdQS8olhR79NYXsFWBPKsM3LbGO00zEcNQfNI" invoice = stripe.Invoice.upcoming(customer="cus_NeZwdNtLEOXuvB")

Within the invoice, you can find the next_payment_attempt as a epoch.

Stripe has it’s own query language for querying data. I’m just getting into using it and it seems pretty good so far. I needed to lookup the price for products. I was able to find prices for my product using the python api as shown below.

Stripe has so many keys and ids this is a very helpful list to decode what exactly an id is for.
