Worklog: down with the flu for several days. Managed to eke out some progress on Melody Generator, https://hostedgitea.com, and getting web live reloader ready for launch.

lol 😅 thank you so much for the nostr protocol 🙏
Server Sent Events is an interesting middle way.
Gosh thank you! You do too of course.
Worklog: spent yesterday hyperfocused on the browser based live reloading web dev experiment. Will release this soon.
Worklog: Saturday tinkering with the browser based live reloader experiment.
Finally did some database maintenance on rogule.com - there were 91k games played in March and there are currently 1.5k games played per day, so the database has swollen to 1.9 Gb!
Worklog: bug fixes on https://dopeloop.ai/melody-generator and mocking out the Pro version UI and upgrade flow.
Also hacked a bit on the browser based live reloading dev experiment I've been tinkering with. I guess this is the nephew of slingcode dot net.
Worklog: lots of progress hacking on https://dopeloop.ai (Melody Generator Pro).
- Refactoring.
- Authentication API update.
- Exporting wav & mp3 feature.
- Accounts page update.

Worklog: hacked on a browser based live-reloading web dev experimental thing over the weekend.
Worklog: Hung over. Faffed about trying to get Malli type errors showing up via clj-kondo. Got sitefox-payments integrated into dopeloop.ai to support paid subscriptions. \o/
Worklog: integrated Sitefox auth/accounts into the dopeloop.ai backend. Long day wrestling to get the integration working in this old codebase & upgrading server libs. Managed to keep the old Postgres session data intact. \o/

Is the backend node? There's a module called `express-slow-down` which saved my biggest site during a DoS (and continues to protect). Quick to implement. Can send you example code if it would help.

https://hostedgitea.com updates on Friday/Saturday:
- Upgraded all boxes to 1.19.3
- Show disk usage on account page.
- Notify admin (me) when Gitea version bumps.
- Hardened firewall on all boxes.
- Fixed weird DNS issue.
- Improved first login experience.
- Documentation.
Most of the basic features now done at https://new.iris.to . Still need to improve content loading (let's see if https://github.com/adamritter/nostr-relaypool-ts helps) and add relay management + auth.
Rewrite took a while and wasn't always fun, but the code is a lot more maintainable now and hopefully easier for new contributors.

Martti thanks so much for your work on this. 🙏
I can only wonder how much worse it would be if this was made with HTTP polling.
