I am jealous of East-coasters traveling west, they get a couple free hours in the morning to sleep in, or be an early bird without really trying 😒

Don't remember if this is the exact library I used but I have used it successfully in the past. (Not JS necessarily tho) github.com/undecaf/zbar...

As a Vue-head myself, I agree 😞 I have a bunch of side projects that I was able to convert pretty easily, but I also didn't use very many Vue-specific libraries that depended on the deep internals of the framework, luckily. It definitely fragmented the ecosystem.

Pulling the business name from your state's Secretary of State website or some other government-backed source where all the business names are all-caps?

I've run into this limitation with a different DB client. I haven't pursued it, but it's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue :D

Chat-gippity says it's likely an issue with Linux filesystem permissions on the server preventing writes from a remote client

Deno and Hono were perfect for this because I just installed Deno on the server Factorio is running on, and created a single app.ts file with everything needed for running server commands, copying files, and serving the web app itself. Hard to imagine doing this so quickly with any other stack.

Here's a great list of starter packs to get you going

There is much more of a community vibe here, especially with starter packs. Here are a few I've found:
nodejs & js go.bsky.app/6jDsWb5
svelte go.bsky.app/QEhPG3P
vue / nuxt go.bsky.app/H8Tibki
web components go.bsky.app/3nDP8iq
remix / react router go.bsky.app/6r1fRkU
web friends go.bsky.app/UUmcHf4

Might be a fun opportunity to hack on the client and add that feature in!

Wow, you must be really serious because I've never seen you use capital letters before!

Actually, not just one starter pack, several. Looks like you're a popular dude! 😀

Maybe the Laravel starter pack? bsky.app/starter-pack...

My method has been "I hope this person is on Bluesky, lemme check. Oh sweet"

Nice. Yeah I'm trying to saturate my feed with tech mostly.

Also, thanks for your input on hono-sessions!
