This is a really good use case. Maybe there _is_ some "market"* for an app like this.

*: Market as in people who may find it useful, not market as in "I would monetize it", screw that.

Same! Learning that this PWA is "barely useful" on mobile because the lack of background API support sucks :(

This sounds cool, I'll add the small fixes other users recommended me and then ask relatives to use it.

I wholeheartedly agree, it's been the most difficult part to do for me.

I have added the icons in the `manifest.json` file but as you said the are still not showing up, will fix this up later today.

Thank you.

Hahaha, thank you for "quoting the full name".

It's mostly a "toy app / learning experience" at this point, but I'm glad it may provide even the tiniest bit of value to others.

Sadly on mobile seems to be fairly useless due the OS killing the worker, but I'll try to wrap it in a native app.

Yeah, I've got a bit of feedback about it, will remove.

Thanks!

What a great suggestion, and you even made a mockup! That's so considerate of you, thank you so much.

I'll try to implement these UI changes tonight.

I knew I wasn't alone!

Yes! I noticed this too, I really want to go with the PWA / open approach, however after a bit more research it looks like the PWA would be barely usable on mobile without their "closed APIs" a native app has :/

Will research what is the thinnest "wrapper" I can use to avoid maintaining 3 different apps.

SSI is supported by "old battle tested" servers like Apache or Nginx, there's a "new guy on the block" that I find quite promissing: Caddy[0] however it doesn't support SSI, instead they have some built-in template engine that is a bit more powerful than old SSI but can achieve the same result.

100% agree, nowadays for static websites the only thing you need to pay is your domain, if that matters to you.

I never released a production website with SSI before, but I found it when I was searching for a more bare-metal approach to make websites; then I found Caddy's template engine and it's been more than enough for what I need.
