Heres how I do it. I just use express.js, sequelize (sqlite) for ORM, nunjucks for templating. Then on the frontend I use VueJs 2 which I use like jQuery - no compile step no components. Throw in some Bootstrap 4.5 because I dont need the new features of 5. Deploy on a $5 lightsail server. Done!

We didnt know when it happened, but we are now at the mercy of AI. Scary times. Everything we do is controlled by algorithms.
Google search has stopped working for me for a long time.
I usually append "stackexchange", "quora", or "reddit" when searching to get useful answers. If you dont do that, you'll get SEOd garbage.

A 10watt solar panel and a step-down module that can charge a powerbank is the simplest, cheapest, most portable option I can think of.

WordPress plugins (and themes) are plagued by freemium versions. SEO has been gamed. Gone are the days of finding a non-freemium, single functionality plugin, that just works. You have to be a seasoned WP developer to wade thru all the crap that is the WP ecosystem, or if all else fails, write your own functionality via functions.php.
vatotemking commented on Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database? · Posted by u/barryhennessy
Hey I actually do the same in a mobile app. I dump everything into a local database, when they are connected to the internet it syncs, lets it work offline.
Im working on something similar. Mine is a RFID scanner kiosk that uses a local db when offline. How do you manage sync conflicts?

Is Nunjucks a thing now? First time I hear about it.
Its been there ever since nodejs was around. Ive been using it for a long time now. I love it as a template engine.
