Should I create @rescript-lang.org bindings for @solidjs.com as a trial-by-fire for binding creation?
TypeScript sort of bums me out and makes me miss ReScript even more :(.

Latest doc visit revealed my BP is inching up a bit. Not alarming but it is definitely weirding me out a bit.
Texted my dad: "Hey, do you have high blood pressure? If so when did it start?"
Dad: "I had perfect BP until I was 45, then it went up..."
..Turns out I am 45

Well that was fun (seriously, it was): Got a has_next property sent down to a custom `pagedWidget` query. Wired up a paginator, resolver and some types. No real gain other than just playing with loads of Elixir and @ash-hq.org. Tried `relay? true` but was not a fan of the larger schema.

I now know more than I wanted to know about keyset/cursor paging. Oof.
I do not know enough about Relay to decide if I want to use `relay? true` in my domain. The schema seems heavier. But Paging to a potentially empty page is driving me insane 😅.

Keyset paging working with @ash-hq.org, GraphQL and @solidjs.com.
Need to tweak some logic for the disabled button states. Next: infinite scroll (maybe...)

✅ @solidjs.com app with GraphQL Primitives library
✅ Query + resolving data with simple types to show a simple list.
Next: Ash TypeScript - unsure it can serve types to a different repo/separate front-end though 🤔j

Small proof-of-concept with @ash-hq.org is going well. I absolutely love the migration snapshots. So handy.
Next up: Wire up some GraphQL and get a SolidJS front-end working (Mayhaps with Ash TypeScript).j

I started another playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. I just missed the game after being a do-gooder in Fallout 4 + DLCs.
I have an updated frame-gen mod that is giving a framerate my 3070 could only dream of before 😅.

Got me some Lamé Keycaps. Bit of fiddling needed, but I guess I did not uncheck the "make em look like teeth" option at JLC3DP 😬

I needed a new #Lego project to distract from...all of it.
I was inspired by this alt build:
rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-157...
Really liking how it is turning out.
