How vivid is the normal level of visualization? I can barely imagine a red apple, but not detailed or vivid really, certainly don't see it in front of me, can barely imagine it. Would vitamin B12 help?

Re:FastHTML – Modern web applications in pure Python on Tuesday July 30, 2024 @08:26AM (#41108437)
I have no interest on magical sugary functions that make something quick. The modern reactive concept doesn't impress me. What I want is a very well thought-out set of tools that allow me to do anything and everything, because I will be refactoring and fine-tuning my functions a lot, and I will do it my own way, I don't need some automatic shortcut which is not going to help me if I can't modify its full functionality. (I don't mind decorators if they make sense)

I want to see how I can manually wire and create anything I want, is what I'm saying and this demo felt like it capitalized on how fast you can do very simple functionality with a couple of functions, which was a let down.

I want to see how I can route (GET/POST), create a database schema, use the database, use CSS (this is very important) yet what I saw was a simple calls to some database store, and no CSS examples. And "a single python file" sounds unrealistic since anything complex enough is going to be split into a series of files. Maybe I'm not the target audience.

I felt very comfortable using Flask recently because it allowed me to do anything I needed.

I do like the idea of building and manipulating HTML elements through python, so hopefully something good comes out of this.

That's a good name
I have a couple of notes text files to write things I might want to copy later (ctrl +c). But I also have a simple todo webapp I made for myself, where I just write keywords as you can see: https://i.imgur.com/5ARJ1q5.jpeg

The text stored "should" be sanitized by the framework I'm using. Hopefully nothing funny happens.

Currently trying to get friends to use it, and eventually having a dashboard that I can just leave open in a tab and check once in a while to get a glimpse of things happening. Not sure if that'll work though.

Thanks
Flameshot has a draw-rectangle function. So you can just draw a red or black rectangle on top of things.
