DataRecovery VS datasette

You can look up my Source Code on Github.

I'm doing Fullstack with Angular + Spring Boot Kotlin.

I love writing the backend but the frontend part really seems overly complex.

In the end I'm just mirroring my data from the backend on the frontend, having to maintain two models, mapping the json to an object and then inputing that data into another component where it gets displayed. For example I tried to create a generic edit component but without reflexion it was a huge pain in the butt: https://github.com/tschuehly/DataRecovery/blob/f4003ddebbba7...

I would love to just have an html structure and then just having a template for a component filling it in the backend and sending it to the frontend.

Simon Willison's github would be a great place to get started imo -

I'm a fan on simonw's datasette/dogsheep ecosystem https://datasette.io/

I use Anki the exact same way. After a lifetime of learning I have accepted that I will never read over anything I write for myself voluntarily - so my two options are:

1. Write an article so good I can publish it and look it over myself later on. I did this last year with https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf/, for example.

2. Create Anki cards out of the material. Use the builtin Card Browser or even https://datasette.io/ on the underlying SQLite database in a pinch to search for my notes any time I have to.

Were you aware of, or tempted by https://datasette.io/ for creating your solution?

Browsing HN, GitHub and the like we get to see a huge variety of software products and code bases.

I often see products and think - if this product X, got together with Y, it would be pretty cool - kind of like if they had a kid together.

Not too literally, but more on the conceptual level - my level of programming is low.

E.g. Just some....

I don't think they are desperate for contributions but it's a welcoming environment and a fun project to hack on. You'll learn a lot just from reading the source and the incredibly informative PRs. The creator is a really talented developer with a great blog which shows up on the HN front page often.

Last year I worked through the challenges using VisiData, Datasette, and Pandas. I walked through my thought process and solutions in a series of posts.
