What I love most about this video is the focus. At every moment when the nattily besuited presenter drapes himself over an expensive chaise, the camera instead prefers the plate describing their choice in wall hangings:

@NfNitLoop Oh! This is interesting! (and I can't tell you how much of a breath of fresh air typing that is)
SPA might make sense for this! And so might Svelte (which, of all the choices you could have made, is deeply into "least worst" territory).
Can you say more about key management? How does this intersect with Web Crypto? How do you do multi-device?

@slightlyoff Ah, yeah. My recent experience has been writing a UI for my “FeoBlog” project. I’m not a UI guy, so looked around at options & landed on Svelte.
The UI is currently an SPA for 2 reasons: 1) the user’s private key should never be sent to the server. 2) proof-of-concept that others can write a standalone client by only using the public API.
In hindsight, wish I’d gone a route that would allow SSR w/ the same codebase. Maybe one day. 😅

*: No, it's fine, I'm familiar with the behavioural economics literature and the many biases and fallacies are self-evident. But thank you. You're here, and I appreciate you for that.
Mastodon Feed@NfNitLoop I think it counts as a solid because you need to chew it. Both sound great!

@NfNitLoop: *mostly* this means retreating to the server, unless your app/UI features very long sessions behind a login. Happy to discuss your specific situation in DMs.

@NfNitLoop the Svelte ecosystem is wrapped around Rich's (much better) priors and affinities than the React disaster. Prefer that world of those are in a binary choice for you.
All-up, consider the last decade of JS excess as an NTSB crash zone; your job is to map it, understand how products died, and ensure it never happens again.

@kornel Yup. I live in a rural area of California that has outages frequently enough that many homes (including mine) have backup generators.
