Almost spit out my coffee when I saw Docker and Hugo together! Still, I like the self-contained nature of this with the Python form handling. For anyone that wants a simpler setup: Netlify forms [0] can handle form submissions, 100 per mont

I'm not quite sure what it was, it was maybe 3-4 weeks ago. I think part of the problem is that different searches return different results: "2x4 birch plywood" returns the correct results in the first two slots - 2'x4&#

Since the article is actually about an SUV, not a sedan: After seeing a post on Reddit years ago, my partner and I built a sleeping platform for her Camry out of plywood that she used for a months-long cross-country trip. On some cars there

Very cool that you built this in such a short time! It makes me wonder if there will be a new segment of programmers that specialize in superfast no-code app creation.

Thanks so much for your work on this and htmx/intercooler! I just threw some htmx on a Django website yesterday and was blown away with how easy it was to do fancy app-y stuff with so little code. Awesome! I'll be trying some hype
