Hey folks! As the title says I just made an offline first full-stack habit tracker web app. It took me more than six to make and now I would love to have your constructive feedback on it. It's at goalstride (dot) app. I would appreciate any feedback you have. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks!

I'm looking at building a website to host comics, a small blog, and store user credentials and comments. Possibly a store.

I've tried this on one separate occasion over a year ago, first I tried using .net as a full stack but I got frustrated with how none of the tutorials on setting up the database, with some forms to submit to it, worked in the then current versions. After that I attempted to program everything in React, but React Router wasn't working well at the time and in general it's more specialized in single page applications. I have hosted some multipage react sites on Ionos before, domains bought elsewhere, so there is no issues on figuring that part out.

So if you were to build it, what would you use? If you were to pay for something like it, what do you think would be a reasonable price?

Apparently, if your HTML is less than 7k, that obviously can’t be a real website, let alone something as ridiculously small as 3k.

Stroke thickness is allowed to vary *by density mode* as a **non-breaking** adjustment, as long as semantics stay intact:

- Dense UI may need **stronger strokes** because small targets and reduced whitespace reduce separability.

- Comfort UI can remain at hairline boundaries in more places because whitespace carries part of the separation work.

Work on Consumer Semnatic Theme continues...

I keep getting this 153 error and I have no idea what's causing it or how to fix it.

It works fine in chromium.

With the release of Safari 26.2 on December 12th, web performance got a fantastic end of year gift with Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and Interaction to Next Paint (INP) becoming Baseline Newly available as the latest version of all major browsers now include the Largest Contentful Paint API and Event Timing API needed to measure these metrics. This was part of the Interop 2025 project, and it's great to see these delivered this year!

And I find it surprising that JSON is so omnipresent when there are far more efficient alternatives, sometimes better suited to a truly modern development experience. Among them: Protocol Buffers, or Protobuf.

My background: Long time IT security engineer here that can code when I need. For dev experience, I have worked with various languages over the years like assembly, C/C++, js, typescript, PERL, python, etc. When needed, I can hack out a specialized tool but I am absolutely not a professional developer.

My ask: I just want a simple web framework that I don't need to think about too much. There are a few ideas I have regarding security analyst workflow in a SIEM-type of environment and need a way to code simple tools as basic snap-ins to a central analysis console.

The ELK stack serves a inspiration (specifically Kibana). However, there is so much more I want to build into an security specific analysis console and building it one snap-in at a time seems manageable over time.

What is the current flavor of the day regarding Web app dev frameworks that might function how I want? What frameworks would be compatible with a broad audience over a long period of time? (I never liked open source applications that use super niche libraries or frameworks that become obsolete and stale after a few months.)

I hope I was able to describe clearly enough what I am looking for. I would google around for ideas, but I simply don't know the correct questions to ask about this kind of thing until I get more up-to-speed.

I'm not finding much in the way of user agent strings for the new "AI" browsers (Perplexity Comet, GPT Atlas, Opera Neon, etc). If there's any I'm missing, feel free to add to my list. I'm trying avoid downloading and (shudder) installing any of these just to figure out the UA string they use.

Essentially, I want to deny these browsers use of a few applications I develop (yes, this includes Tesseract).

However, I want to avoid any false positives, so I'm trying to be as specific as I can in the filter.

For now, I'm not bothering with Edge/Chrome despite them now advertising themselves as "AI Browsers"; I'm just denying the ones made directly by the AI companies.

How do browser reading modes determine what is the main page content? They use different approaches and there’s no defined standard.
