   :kitten: 🎉 Kitten is now using the new versioning/deployments system hosted on https://kittens.small-web.org

   This is going to allow us to handle automatic updates of Small Web places rather elegantly.

   Installation is also now much faster.

   You can find out more about Kitten at https://codeberg.org/kitten/app#kitten

   Known issue: commit links on the Kittens site are 404ing right now. I just opened an issue to see if @forgejo can add support for 6-digit git hashes*

     PS. Like everything else I do, the Kittens site¹ is free and open source and written in Kitten itself. So if you’d like to see a real-world example of simple site created in Kitten, head over to:

     https://codeberg.org/kitten/kittens.small-web.org

     (I also just added a View Source link to the bottom of the Kittens site.)

     Also, if you are looking at the code, notice how I’m persisting and retrieving custom JavaScript objects from the database and generally interacting with the database as I would with any JavaScript object.

     e.g., https://codeberg.org/kitten/kittens.small-web.org/src/branch/main/upload.post.js#L80

     That’s thanks to the built-in JavaScript Database (JSDB) that Kitten uses:

     https://codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb#javascript-database-jsdb

     To see how the custom classes are created, see the database app module:

     e.g., https://codeberg.org/kitten/kittens.small-web.org/src/branch/main/app_modules/database

     Finally, please ignore the annoying and incorrect “This file contains ambiguous Unicode characters!” messages on @Codeberg. This is a longstanding @forgejo bug:

     Oh ok, thanks. Now I can see what it's good for. I'm really only a user in IT. If I ever need something like that, I now know who to ask. And I still think the kittis are cute.😉

     That thing @aral builds is for making that how websites built easier to understand and use by newcomers, by people who never built websites before.

     Just published a userstyle for the Stylus Firefox extension¹ that removes the ambiguous character warnings on @Codeberg code listings (for example, when you use proper curly quotes in comments and strings, etc.)

     Should work with any @forgejo install if you tweak the domain it pertains to.

     @jokeyrhyme In this case, we⚠️ ’re seeing warnings for curly quotes in comments and strings ;)

     @aral @Codeberg @forgejo it's possible this is related to CVEs like this one: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/11/01/cve-2021-42574.html

     But, it's certainly annoying to see warnings that a compiler/interpreter will trip over anyway (e.g. quote symbols), because that's what CI is for

     Really should only see warnings/errors for text that is both valid to the compiler, and also conceals code from human review (per the CVE)

     The new Kittens site now also serves the Kitten installation script and I’ve updated the installation commands accordingly.

     On my machine, it now takes ~2.5 seconds to install Kitten the first time and ~0.8 seconds to install it a second time (the difference is the amount of time the installer takes to download and install the Node.js runtime).

     I think I’m happy with that performance now so I’m going to move onto implementing server auto updates now.
