Your web server having an interactive shell (REPL) where you can live update entries in your site/app’s database is pretty neat (if I do say so myself) :)

https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#kitten-s-interactive-shell-repl

(I’m porting the Small Technology Foundation¹ from Site.js² – and hence from being a static site generated via Site.js’s integrated Hugo³ – to Kitten⁴. In the process, I’m creating an admin panel⁵ for the news, events, and videos sections, which will make them easier to update, and storing the data in Kitten’s internal JavaScript Database⁶.)

¹ https://small-tech.org
² https://sitejs.org
³ https://gohugo.io/
⁴ https://kitten.small-web.org
⁵ It’s trivial to create authenticated routes in Kitten. You just add a lock emoji (🔒) to the end of your route’s name. e.g., admin🔒.page.js or /admin🔒/index.page.js (see https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#sessions-and-authentication).
