I'm looking at the very first example, and I'm a little confused. The function `home()` displays a list of messages, but they aren't passed into `home()`. Instead, `messages` is basically a global variable, and some other functions can append messages to it. Then I went looking at some more examples, and I see this pattern repeated. Is this how you're supposed to build webapps with this package? How does it isolate the list of messages for different users?

Which example? I see global vars in a couple of the demos. The game state for the Game of Life makes sense, since it is intended to be shared. The `messages` list in the Chatbot demo is definitely NOT how you'd build a multi-user application, that's mainly showing the styling aspect. In general, you'd have an actual database and make it so users can only see their own data! See https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/fasthtml/blob/main/examples/adv_app.py https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/fasthtml/blob/main/examples/a... which adds a filter to queries and DDL statements to ensure that the user can only see/edit their own todos.
