My condolences.

Reminds me that life is short. We should all be thankful and make the most of what we have.

Love this! I feel like this would get a lot of traction as a mobile app. It's a perfect "I've got five minutes free" game.

Doesn't feel outrageously difficult to put inside a webview?

Sounds neat, I like the concept. :)

How is persistent storage handled? Do users need to be made aware that their data in local storage might disappear one day if the OS runs low on disk space?

Wow, what a throwback!

Interesting to see the speed at which levels load.

The old N64 levels are almost instant, and still look amazing.

Ultimately the complexity does have to live somewhere.

The idea that HTMX removes all the complexity is false. However it does remove some of it, and moves the rest onto the backend.

I find the backend easier to work with, so that's a win for me.

And a batteries included framework (like Laravel or Django) makes HTMX even more appealing. They already have everything you need! :)

Roughly 20 years ago, PHP sites were getting hacked everywhere.

Now, JS sites everywhere are getting hacked.

JS has turned into the very thing it strived to replace.

It's good to see developers haven't changed. ;)

Exactly

A much simpler solution is to keep your tables as they are (with an integer primary key), but add a non sequential public identifier too.

id => 123, public_id => 202cb962ac59075b964b07152d234b70

There are many ways to generate the public_id. A simple MD5 with a salt works quite well for extremely low effort.

Add a unique constraint on that column (which also indexes it), and you'll be safe and performant for hundreds of millions of rows!

Why do we developers like to overcomplicate things? ;)
