I tend to use env variables instead of env files (12 Factor Apps - https://12factor.net/). Safer, not safest. As @late_night_fix mentioned, there has to be a balance.

I've installed once via CentOS package manager and upgrading is just a command line away.

Setting up is also a straight forward command line. I rarely have to worry about it.

As you said, pretty much fire-and-forget.

Gitlab CI with some remote runners on a VPS that I already have (so I can keep myself on the free tier). Works perfectly.

That's a Tuesday morning in consulting companies.

Yes. It already does.

Microsoft Teams eats RAM. Period.

The main point of hypermedia is the browser, not a gaming platform. Not even the mobile platform. HTMX is not purposed nor it advertises that it should be used outside of the browser scope. I use Unpoly that replies on the same principles (HTML over the wire) and both of them are very clear about their intentions.

What kind of shortcuts you're looking for? Spark has a lot (almost all primary functions has one) of keyboard shortcuts.

https://noteplan.co, if you're on a macOS/iOS device.

I don't know about navigating, but you can find more details here: https://www.liquid-glass.org/

I use Fastmail for my personal domain. The service is great. They don't have a desktop app. I use macOS Mail (which sucks) and, sometimes, I give Spark Mail a try but they are not there yet.

Fastmail do have web and mobile clients. On web and iOS, both are a "webapp" disguised as an app (my guess Android version is the same).

It always depends on what kind of project you're going to work on. My projects usually falls on the CRUD side.

For that, I keep using Django + Unpoly (check it out) + Bootstrap and I always get a SPA like app that works very fine.

And I keep my stack very lean. I'm also a backend developer so frontend stuff is just an annoyance. New language, new build pipelines, multiple deploys (frontend/backend) etc.

HMTX is also something you should take a look.

I'm still using Bootstrap 5. Not that "modern" but it gets the job done fast.

I'm using NotePlan (https://noteplan.co) and loving it.

It's a macOS/iOS app (there's a somewhat limited Web version). IMO, the best balance between PKM and task manager/calendar management.

I've also tried Amplenote (https://amplenote.com) that has some of the features you want but the tagging concept lost me.

I'm also a Raycast user. It has an extension: https://github.com/raycast/extensions/tree/main/extensions/n...

I've been using NotePlan (https://noteplan.co) with the Projects + Reviews plugin. It's been a game changer for me. The (almost) perfect combination of tasks + notes.

I also manage my personal stuff with it.

It's a paid macOS app but, IMO, worth every penny.

Django + Unpoly + Bootstrap + Postgres

The plugin was created after users complains. Initially the AI feature was embedded in the editor and there was no way to totally disable it.

That lead to a lot of complains about information security and companies compliance.

Jetbrains listened and created a separate plugin so that people/companies that had issues with AI "looking" at their code and using it to train their AI could keep using Jetbrais tools without that feature.

You could use something like the PARA Method.

I don't but I follow another pattern: https://alexandremjacques.com/why-i-dont-use-the-para-system...

I just dump this sctructure inside my Documents folder and iCloud does its sync stuuf. Switch iCloud with your tool of choice and you're good to go.

Another option: https://johnnydecimal.com/

Also, there's a ton of applications that can automate organizing files based on rules. Just look around.

I use Unpoly instead of HTMX and vanilla js for the rest.

Yeah. I love the productivity that comes with this stack.

Django + Postgres + Redis (only when necessary) + Unpoly + Bootstrap

You can have, sort of: System Settings -> Keyboard -> Text Replacements

I have some mostly used shortcuts for my fullname, first and last name, mother's name, father's name, id number etc.

NotePlan has a plugin that does that. I'm new to it but it has a very interesting approach to things.

Check out this video (3:25s): https://www.dropbox.com/s/wokcvoc6cwps9bb/noteplan%20daily%2...

I'm using Unpoly (https://unpoly.com) instead of htmx. One thing that, sometimes, makes me consider pairing it with jQuery are the components built around it.

Stuff like datepickers, autocompletes and whatnot are very consolidated in jQuery world. Sure there are options for vanilla JS but they are not mantained or do not have all the features.

These components are being built for the Reacts and Vues frameworks these days.

Ono approach could be using branches for development flow and tags for the releases. That way you can keep your branches "separated" from the deployed releases (deploying those commit tags).

I've been using boring tech for that:

* Python/Django framework (Django itself has 17+ years "on the road" - that's forever enough for me) * Postgres as my main database * Bootstrap as main UI (customized via Sass - not too fancy though) * Unpoly (https://unpoly.com) for frontend and the SPA "feeling" of the app - absolutely no JS frameworks (React, Vue, etc.) - my SaaS product will be mainly CRUD operations, no fancy/dynamic stuff.

Change Django for Rails (or any other "magic" framework) and you're good to go.
