A fun and simple way for me to explore the Deno runtime, HTMX, and Hyperscript. Features include creating short links, downloading URL as QR code, and light/dark modes.

Deno is a JS runtime which has the tagline "Uncomplicate JavaScript". And I think it did just that - at least in my simple project. Not having to deal with configuring code formatters, linters, and having a relatively concise code base was very nice!

HTMX is a different take on what I am used to seeing/building in terms of clients and servers' interactions. I learned about how REST was originally designed to work, re-learned HTML forms, and how HTML responses are actually self-documenting codes.

HTMX creator's essays is a great source of tech reads. Especially his essay on simplicity.
